Attorney Eyal Besserglick criticized Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara for refusing a judges' suggestion to appear in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial. Besserglick suggested this refusal indicates a desire to prolong the legal proceedings, citing perceived difficulties in the case and a lack of engagement in mediation. While the judges have not issued a formal order, they could compel Baharav-Miara's attendance if they deem it necessary, aiming for her to hear their position directly.
