The Jerusalem District Court announced today (Friday) to the attorneys of Benjamin Netanyahu, Shaul and Iris Alovich and Arnon Mozes that the hearing that was supposed to take place next Wednesday, January 13, will be canceled. The reason for the cancellation is the closure which took effect at midnight.
The chairman of the Tnufa party, Ofer Shelach, said in response to the postponement of the Netanyahu trial that “the postponement of the trial due to the closure only emphasizes the impossible situation that the prime minister puts us in with an indictment: how can we believe Bibi that his decisions are relevant and impersonal? ? “.
The Black Flags movement stated that “now everything is clear – we are all in custody so that Bibi will not be prosecuted for his crimes. The Prime Minister has put the State of Israel in custody for the postponement of his trial. All the people of Israel are called to demonstrate this coming Saturday against the political closure, against the defendant and against the dismantling of Israeli democracy! “
The State Attorney’s Office last night passed to the defense attorney general’s approvals Avichai Mandelblit to open investigations and investigations into the prime minister’s case and his approvals to interrogate him with a warning.
As mentioned, the prosecution argued that the requirement in the Basic Law: The Government to give the consent of the Adviser to the entire Prime Minister’s interrogation should also be given orally, in meetings held by the Adviser on the subject, and the court ruled that the minutes of these meetings or other records .
The court also ruled that the state may omit or black out parts of these documents, insofar as it considers them to constitute “internal records” or an internal hearing, in which case they may not be transferred. Accordingly, the agreements given by the ombudsman in each of the cases bearing the indictment against Netanyahu were transferred to the defense.
It should be emphasized that beyond that, Mandelblit approved many dozens of other investigative actions at the various stages of the investigations and investigations, even though the law only commands consent to be initiated in the proceedings.
