Member of Knesset Moshe Saada commented on Thursday regarding a dramatic decision by the judges in the Netanyahu trial. The judges mandated that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara appear for a hearing next Wednesday, despite her opposition. Saada stated that if the judges' initial request for her to attend was a "yellow card" for the prosecution, the order for her to appear against her will is a "red card." He believes this decision brings the collapse of the "tailored cases" against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu closer.
The judges' decision noted their intention to hold a substantive hearing to explore procedural options with authorized representatives of the parties involved in the trial concerning Netanyahu. They had been informed that the Attorney General, after consideration, believed her appearance was unnecessary and that she trusted the prosecution's representatives. However, the judges concluded that her personal appearance would add value, enabling a direct dialogue with the decision-maker to hear and address matters firsthand. Consequently, a hearing with the Attorney General present was scheduled for Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at 9:30 AM.
