Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit testified in the trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, focusing on the approvals he granted for the investigation into Netanyahu in the 'Cases of the Thousand.' During his testimony, Mandelblit was confronted by the Prime Minister's lawyer, Amit Haddad, who presented documents and argued that Mandelblit's account did not align with the existing records.
Haddad's line of questioning aimed to challenge Mandelblit's motivations, asking if his actions were driven by animosity towards Netanyahu. This line of inquiry reportedly caused a stir in the courtroom. The defense seeks to undermine the basis of the investigation by questioning the integrity and impartiality of the decisions made by the former Attorney General.
Mandelblit's testimony is a crucial part of the ongoing trial, where Netanyahu faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. The defense strategy appears to be centered on discrediting the key decisions and approvals that led to the indictment, particularly those made by Mandelblit.
