Attorney Guy Bassi stated on Tuesday that he doubts justice will be served for Benjamin Netanyahu in his ongoing trial, suggesting the judges are trying to protect Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and the "deep state." Bassi questioned how the judges would explain certain aspects of the proceedings, referencing what he called an "intimate exercise in writing," the wiretapping of Natan Eshel, and the treatment of Iris Elovitch.
