The prosecution announced that Mazid Hamdan has been convicted of bribery offenses involving Ze'ev Dolinsky, the former personal and senior advisor to Israeli President Reuven Rivlin. According to the indictment, between 2018 and 2020, Hamdan transferred at least 6,000 shekels to Dolinsky in exchange for assistance in advancing requests with government bodies and public authorities. These requests pertained to areas such as planning and construction, licenses, entry permits to Israel, and medical matters.
