The State Attorney’s Office informed all the defense teams of the defendants in the Netanyahu trial about the change in the order of the witnesses, it was published tonight (Tuesday) in News 13.
The first witness in the trial will be Ilan Yeshua and will testify as early as the opening of the evidentiary phase on April 5. Nir Hefetz will be the eighth witness. Whoever was supposed to be in the second group of witnesses and is now joining the first group of witnesses is the second state witness in the 4000 case, Shlomo Pilber.

Immediately after Pilber’s testimony, the prosecution will move on to the second group of witnesses and the 1000 case. This group of witnesses will include Hadas Klein, the senior assistant to billionaire Arnon Milchen. Klein is considered by the State Attorney’s Office to be a very important and powerful community. After her on the list of witnesses will also come Arnon Milchen himself.
The State Attorney’s Office is very concerned about the possibility that pressure is being exerted on the witnesses, against the background of recent publications, according to which Netanyahu’s attorney, lawyer Boaz Ben-Zur, spoke with Milchen and Klein.
