Judges at the Jerusalem District Court presiding over the criminal case against Benjamin Netanyahu have ordered the personal appearance of Gali Baharav-Miara, the Legal Advisor to the Government, to discuss the future proceedings, despite her objections. The decision was reported on November 12 by journalist Avishai Greenzaig and the publication "Kipa." The prosecution had previously informed the court that Baharav-Miara did not intend to personally attend such a discussion. A prosecution representative, Yehudit Tirosh, explained that the Legal Advisor regularly receives updates on the case from the prosecutors directly involved in the hearings. The judges had initially proposed a closed-door meeting with Baharav-Miara. Netanyahu's defense team, along with Shaul Elovich's defense, supported this proposal. Following the Legal Advisor's refusal to attend, Netanyahu's lawyer Amit Haddad stated that the court has the authority to compel her appearance. A date for the session involving Baharav-Miara has not yet been set.
