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.
