Israel's Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, will not personally appear in court for the ongoing trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to prosecutors. The judicial panel had invited Baharav-Miara to discuss the "further conduct of the cases." Baharav-Miara conveyed her response through prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh, stating that her representatives, who are present in court and regularly update her, are authorized to act on her behalf. She emphasized that a group of senior lawyers and the Deputy State Attorney are monitoring the proceedings. Baharav-Miara believes her personal appearance would be procedurally inappropriate, but stressed that her office remains open to dialogue, citing their response to a request from the President of Israel. She contrasted this with the defendant's (Netanyahu's) decision not to respond to the President's request.
