A heated exchange erupted in the Jerusalem District Court on the second day of the cross-examination of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in the trial of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. The Prime Minister's defense attorney, Amit Haddad, accused the prosecution of withholding information about investigative actions in the Netanyahu cases from Mandelblit, alleging that prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh was involved. The confrontation began when Haddad asked Mandelblit if he was aware that Eli Levi had ordered the extraction of materials from the email accounts of Elovich and Netanyahu in July 2017, information that was not disclosed to him by the prosecution. Haddad further claimed that prosecution officials had "trapped Mandelblit" and directed these accusations also at Tirosh.
