Jerusalem's District Court has ordered Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to appear for a hearing in the trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite her opposition to the request. The judges, Rivka Friedman-Feldman, Moseh Bar-Am, and Oded Shaham, are reportedly seeking to discuss the bribery charge in Case 4000. The court had previously recommended that the prosecution drop the bribery element of the case. The judges stated that Baharav-Miara's personal appearance is necessary for a productive, two-way dialogue, allowing the decision-maker to hear arguments directly and respond. The hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, November 18, at 9:30 AM, with the possibility of it being held behind closed doors.
The judges noted that after considering the Attorney General's position, they concluded her presence would still add value. They believe that for a meaningful dialogue to occur, the person responsible for making decisions must hear the matters firsthand and address them as needed. The court also indicated that the hearing might be conducted in a closed session if necessary.
