No final response has yet been presented, leaving open whether Baharav-Miara will be asked to participate in a future hearing.

Abstract editorial illustration

Judges in the Netanyahu corruption trial are mulling whether to consult with Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara following concerns raised during former Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit's testimony about the authorization and execution of the investigations. Defense attorneys asked the court to summon Baharav-Miara to address issues that surfaced during Mandelblit's testimony.

Judge Oded Shaham said the judges had previously considered taking this step independently. Prosecutors said they would review the judges' remarks and provide a response. The case centers on allegations of improper approvals for Netanyahu's investigations, with prosecutors disputing claims the investigations were improperly authorized.
