The trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saw significant disruption on Monday as the former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit testified for his second day. Unlike the previous day, Netanyahu himself was not present in the Tel Aviv District Court.
During the proceedings, a heated exchange occurred when Prime Minister's attorney Amit Haddad reportedly shouted at prosecutor Judith Tirosh. The judges immediately halted the hearing in response to the outburst and summoned both legal teams to their chambers.
Mandelblit, who served as the state's top legal official during the period under review in the "Cases of the Thousand," is a key witness in the corruption charges against Netanyahu. The trial, which resumed earlier this month, involves allegations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
