Legal experts are intensifying their criticism of the prosecution in the trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with one lawyer describing the situation as lacking a "responsible adult." The critique centers on the prosecution's handling of the bribery charges, with suggestions that the judges may wish to discuss the matter directly with the Attorney General.
He likened the situation to "grown-up children" who are reluctant to make difficult decisions, suggesting they are not listening to the court's implied direction to narrow the scope of the bribery allegations.
He noted that this sentiment has been expressed multiple times. The testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit was described as dramatic, particularly regarding his alleged lack of approval for actions that were later deemed criminal.
The discussion also touched upon the possibility of a closed-door hearing involving the Attorney General, a scenario explained by Maariv correspondent Gilad Morg. The legal commentary suggests a growing impatience from the bench regarding the prosecution's strategy.
