Netanyahu trial judges propose direct meeting with attorney general

Judges in Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial proposed that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara attend a closed-door hearing to discuss the case directly, a move the court had already considered. The prosecution objected.

The judges in Netanyahu's trial suggested on Thursday that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara attend the hearing so they could speak with her directly regarding the case. The proposal was raised by Shaul Elovitch's attorney, Zaki Chen, who noted that the hearing would be held behind closed doors. Judge Moshe Shacham responded that the court had considered a similar move beforehand, adding that it was a matter of discretion and an attempt to advance the proceedings. The article also notes that in October, former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit testified, confirming the opening of investigations against Netanyahu.
