Attorney Kineret Barashi commented on Sunday regarding the dramatic decision to summon the Attorney General to the Netanyahu trial. Barashi stated on Galei Israel radio that the goal is to resolve the "mess" of the "Cases of the Ages" ( תיקי האלפים ), which she believes is backfiring on the prosecution. The central dispute, according to Barashi, is not about Benjamin Netanyahu's guilt but rather between the prosecution and former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit over who is lying, suggesting both might be untruthful.
Barashi elaborated that when Mandelblit claims he did not give approval or was not updated, prosecutor Tirosh is essentially stating he was updated and did give approval, which she claims they can prove. This implies, Barashi said, that the Attorney General is lying, creating a significant problem that will ultimately harm the prosecution.
