Attorney Shishai Gaz analyzes the testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in the Netanyahu trial. Gaz explains that the testimony is dramatic mainly in the public arena, but flaws in the investigation do not automatically disqualify evidence in Israel. He warns that the defense is limited in direct examination and may be exposed to risk if Mandelblit expands on matters unfavorable to them.

Attorney Shishai Gaz, a senior criminal commentator, analyzes the testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in the Netanyahu trial. Gaz explains that the testimony is dramatic mainly in the public arena, since not every flaw in the investigation disqualifies evidence in Israel, unlike in the US. He notes that wiretapping is an exception. Gaz warns that the defense is limited in direct examination and cannot cross-examine Mandelblit, and that the witness may expand on matters unfavorable to them. According to him, the court may restrict entry into internal discussions at the prosecution, and opening this issue could work against Netanyahu if Mandelblit mentions that he was the lenient factor in certain cases.
