Dr. Matan Gutman, an expert in administrative and public law, criticized Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara's decision not to appear before the judges in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial. Gutman stated in an interview that he would have accepted the judges' request to hear their arguments, even if he disagreed with them. He suggested Baharav-Miara might believe appearing would cast doubt on the prosecution's lawyers, but emphasized that attending the hearing would have been the proper course of action, allowing her to listen respectfully and state her disagreement.
Gutman also addressed the prosecution's handling of the bribery charges against Netanyahu. He noted that the judges have twice indicated a need to reconsider the bribery indictment, yet the prosecution continues to pursue it. "The judges said that the bribery charge should be withdrawn twice. Despite this, the prosecution insists on the bribery charge. I think this is a mistake," Gutman said.
Gutman's critique focused on two main points: the Attorney General's refusal to attend the judges' hearing and the decision to proceed with the bribery charge despite the court's alleged indications. He reiterated that attending the hearing would not obligate Baharav-Miara to change her legal stance.
