Dramatic Testimonies Expected in Netanyahu Trial as Key Witness Faces Cross-Examination

Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit is expected to give "dramatic and historic testimonies" during his cross-examination in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial. Netanyahu's lawyer, Amit Haddad, aims to dismantle the charges by questioning Mandelblit about pressures and his relationship with former State Prosecutor Shi Nitzen. Mandelblit confirmed that approval for the Case 4000 investigation was not granted until October 2, 2017, a point Haddad is using to challenge the investigation's legitimacy.
