"There is no place to open an investigation into Netanyahu": Hadad reveals the document that was hidden
A fierce confrontation erupted during the third testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, after Netanyahu's attorney, Adv. Amit Hadad, presented an internal document from October stating that "there is no place to open an investigation against the Prime Minister." Hadad claimed that this sentence was blacked out for five years. Prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh objected to the questions, citing protected internal deliberations.
A head-on confrontation between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's attorney, Adv. Amit Hadad, and prosecution representatives unfolded this morning (Tuesday) during the third day of testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit at the Jerusalem District Court. At the center of the dispute was an internal document from October, presented in court, which contained an explicit determination that "there is no place to open an investigation against the Prime Minister and others." Hadad expressed outrage that this critical sentence had been blacked out for five years, concealing essential information from the defense, while prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh objected to the questions, arguing that the confidentiality of internal discussions and deliberations must be protected. Judge Oded Shaham Bar-Am intervened, seeking to understand why the identity of the speakers was crucial to the investigation. The heated debate continues to occupy the court regarding the legality and scope of the investigation approvals in the cases known as the "thousands" cases.
