Attorney Amit Haddad presented testimony from Ari Harow during his cross-examination of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, alleging that police eavesdropped on conversations between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Noni Mozes, the owner of Yedioth Ahronoth, before seeking approval to open Case 2000.
