The presiding judge in the corruption trial of Benjamin Netanyahu, Rivka Friedman-Feldman, stated that there are "many unusual things" in the case. She was justifying the defense's request to summon the Attorney General to testify in court. The judge noted that while the case indeed contains unusual elements, the prosecution is not solely responsible for them. Instead, she implied that the defendants themselves have turned the trial into a "circus."
Friedman-Feldman specifically pointed to the defense's proposal to withdraw the bribery charge before the key defendants in the bribery case even testified. The judge described this proposal as the source of the "scandal."
