The judges presiding over the Netanyahu trial have rejected a request from the defense to question former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit regarding investigative actions taken after he approved the opening of the investigations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Previously, the defense had only questioned Mandelblit about actions up to the point of approval.
The prosecution had strongly opposed the defense's request. Judge Tirosh cautioned that allowing such a line of questioning could set a precedent, potentially opening the door for similar requests in other cases.
