Bereaved father Hagai Loober expressed shock and dismay on Wednesday regarding the proceedings in the trial of Benjamin Netanyahu, particularly in light of testimony from former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit. Loober stated that he and other citizens seeking justice felt distressed listening to Mandelblit, whom he described as appearing to equivocate like a politician rather than uphold impartiality. Mandelblit's testimony, characterized by Loober as a series of "doesn't remember, didn't say, didn't read, didn't think, wasn't updated," revealed what Loober perceived as the legal system's amateurism, negligence, and potentially malicious intent.

Loober emphasized that the issue transcends Netanyahu's guilt or innocence, arguing that a loss of public trust in the judicial system poses a severe threat to public peace and could lead to anarchy. He voiced bewilderment at the jubilation of Netanyahu's supporters and the silence of his opponents, questioning if they failed to see the "house burning down."

He urged a departure from partisan politics, calling for a serious, impartial investigation into whether indictments are being filed amidst a sea of intrigue. Loober implored for corrections to be made to the system for the sake of justice.
