An unusual confrontation occurred at the Jerusalem District Court on Thursday when activist Mordechai David approached former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, questioning him about the indictment against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Court security intervened, ordering David to leave the premises, leading to a heated exchange captured on video.
In the footage, David is heard asking Mandelblit about the indictment. A court security officer then attempted to escort David away, telling him, "Come, come, everything is fine. Don't touch, don't touch him." David protested, shouting, "Don't touch me, don't touch me." The security officer insisted David leave the area, prompting further argument about whether David had blocked passage or disrupted movement.
Mutual accusations were exchanged during the confrontation, with one participant claiming the events were being filmed and another responding, "Sir, you are lying." The security officer again demanded David exit the area at the end of the recording.
Likud spokesperson Guy Levy decried the incident as discrimination, stating, "A hundred people can shout at the Prime Minister, but not at Mandelblit." The confrontation took place as Mandelblit was testifying in Netanyahu's trial and undergoing cross-examination by the Prime Minister's defense attorney, Amit Haddad. During his testimony, Mandelblit was confronted with documents regarding approvals he granted to police during the initial stages of the investigation against Netanyahu, including the probe into former aide Ari Harow and matters related to cigars and champagne in Case 1000.
