Attorney Ephraim Dimri stated on Thursday that the lawsuit filed against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar is a "completely absurd and baseless" move intended for election campaigning. However, Dimri argued that the suit could inadvertently benefit Netanyahu, turning a "curse into a blessing."
Dimri explained that if Netanyahu is compelled to file a defense brief, it would necessitate the disclosure of sensitive documents and protocols, including a report by Major Y' and records of participants in a specific meeting. He suggested that Netanyahu should waive his immunity and submit this report as his defense, which he believes would lead to the case's swift resolution.
Addressing claims about the meeting in question, Dimri confirmed that it did take place, contrary to some assertions. He asserted that the attendees are documented in a report by Major Y' and that an official meeting protocol exists. Dimri indicated that these documents, including the meeting protocol, have been provided to the Prime Minister's Military Secretary.
When pressed by host Tal Meir about whether he had personally seen the protocol, Dimri did not give a direct affirmative but reiterated the existence of the documents. The discussion concluded with the host noting that if the Prime Minister wished to respond directly, he would have done so.
