Ex-AG Mandelblit Testifies for Netanyahu Defense in Corruption Trial

Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit began testifying for the defense in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial, a highly unusual step. The defense aims to prove Mandelblit's approval of the investigation was invalid, seeking to dismiss the indictment. The prosecution disputes this, stating all necessary approvals were provided and documented. Mandelblit's testimony date also caused contention, with the defense requesting extensive time and Mandelblit seeking a postponement due to other commitments.

Israeli Economy Under Pressure: Expert Cites Security, Political, and Global Factors

Economic expert Dror Carney explains that Israel's stock market weakness and shekel depreciation are due to macroeconomic pressures, security and political uncertainty, and global factors. He warns of potential international restrictions and highlights how upcoming elections and high interest rates are impacting the economy. Carney believes a trend reversal depends on regional de-escalation or post-election political clarity, which could restore investor confidence and ease pressure on the currency and government bonds.
