The judges presiding over the trial of Benjamin Netanyahu have ordered Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to personally attend a special hearing scheduled for Wednesday, November 18th, at 9:30 AM. The hearing will focus on potential ways to advance and manage the ongoing trial. This decision was made despite Baharav-Miara's stated position that her personal appearance was unnecessary, as she trusted the prosecution team handling the case.
Judges Rivka Friedman-Feldman, Moshe Bar-Am, and Oded Shaham wrote in their decision that the purpose of the hearing is to explore various options concerning the management and progression of the proceedings as they relate to Netanyahu. They noted that they had considered summoning the Attorney General, but were informed of her belief that her presence was not required and that she had confidence in the prosecution's representatives.
However, the judges disagreed, asserting that her direct participation is essential for a "direct and substantive dialogue" regarding the trial's future. They explained that for a "productive two-sided dialogue," the "person responsible for decision-making" needs to hear matters directly and respond as needed. Consequently, the court mandated her attendance, with the possibility of holding the session in closed chambers if necessary.
