Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit is scheduled to testify for three days this week in the trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Defense attorney Amit Haddad is expected to continue his cross-examination, focusing on actions allegedly taken before Mandelblit approved the investigation into Netanyahu. Haddad has previously argued that investigative steps related to the prime minister were conducted even before Mandelblit gave his approval to investigate, specifically during the Bezeq case when the investigation became public.
Testimony from a sitting attorney general in a case where they filed indictments is highly unusual. It remains to be seen how much time the judges will allow Haddad to question Mandelblit and on what additional subjects.
