The prosecution on Tuesday objected to questioning former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit on the witness stand regarding investigative actions taken after he had granted approvals. Prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh warned that opening this door could set a dangerous precedent. Judge Bar-Am pressed Tirosh, asking how the court could ignore testimony from the former Attorney General himself concerning "illegal actions."
So far, the defense for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has questioned Mandelblit about actions that occurred up to and including the stage of approvals he granted. Tirosh argued that the court's duty is to limit the scope to the most essential matters, which she defined as the approvals Mandelblit himself provided.
