A confrontation occurred in court during the testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in the trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The prosecution sought to limit the cross-examination to the approvals Mandelblit granted for initiating investigations. However, Judge Moshe Bar-Am questioned how the court could ignore testimony regarding illegal actions.
The exchange highlights a significant point of contention in the ongoing legal proceedings against Netanyahu, who faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. The defense aims to use Mandelblit's testimony to challenge the legitimacy of the investigations that led to the indictment.
