The defense teams for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and co-defendant Shaul Elovitch have requested that the Attorney General appear in court to discuss the ongoing "Netanyahu trial" and actions taken within the case. This procedural move is described as unusual and lacking a clear legal definition. The judges presiding over the trial indicated that they might not require a formal request, with Judge Shaham stating, "We thought we should do it ourselves." The court is currently deliberating on how to proceed with this matter.
The defense's request aims to facilitate a discussion regarding the continuation of the case and the investigative steps taken. The judges' contemplation of summoning the Attorney General independently suggests a potential shift in how the court intends to manage the proceedings, possibly to ensure a thorough examination of the issues raised by the defense.
