Likud Party Demands Corruption Trial Against Netanyahu Be Halted

Israel's Likud party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has demanded an immediate halt to his corruption trial after testimony from former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit. The party accused investigators of fabricating charges and called for a probe into Mandelblit and law enforcement officials. Mandelblit confirmed approving key investigation stages but not every police action. Likud views the trial as political persecution, while court proceedings continue.
