Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

The second day of Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit's testimony in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial was unexpectedly halted. Mandelblit's testimony was interrupted by sharp accusations from Netanyahu's lawyer, Amit Haddad. Haddad claimed that the Attorney General's office "took an attorney general and trapped him." The prosecution responded forcefully to Haddad's remarks, stating, "The prosecution is not the defendant here."

The exchange led to a temporary suspension of the proceedings as the court addressed the heated exchange between the defense and prosecution. The trial, which involves charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust against Netanyahu, has seen significant legal maneuvering and public attention.
