The testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in the trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was temporarily halted on Tuesday following a heated exchange between the prime minister's lawyer, Amit Haddad, and prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh. The argument escalated when Haddad accused Tirosh and her colleagues in the State Prosecutor's Office of misleading Mandelblit. Haddad stated, "I understand the distress, there is someone sitting here for whom this is the case of her life." Tirosh responded sharply, raising her voice, "My life is my family. We are all lawyers doing our job. We are not the defendants here." Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman intervened, stopping the proceedings and instructing the lawyers to enter her chambers. The hearing later resumed after the intervention.
