Prosecution objects to Attorney General attending Netanyahu trial hearings

The Israeli prosecution informed the court that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara will not attend hearings in the Netanyahu trial, after defense lawyers requested her presence. Prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh objected, citing workflow disruption.

The prosecution informed the court this morning (Wednesday) during a hearing in Netanyahu's trial that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara will not attend the hearings, following a request by the defense and the judges' support for the proposal. Prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh expressed opposition, stating that the Attorney General operates in an orderly manner in the prosecution cases, and that the prosecution team regularly updates her on courtroom developments. Tirosh added that the Attorney General's presence in the courtroom when the prosecution team and senior prosecution officials are present is not appropriate given the prosecution's work procedures, and noted that the door of the Attorney General and the State Attorney is open for direct dialogue.
