Netanyahu trial judges order Attorney-General Baharav-Miara to appear in court next week
The Jerusalem District Court panel said Baharav-Miara must appear on November 18, a day after prosecutors told the court she would not attend a proposed discussion.
The criminal trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara to appear before the Jerusalem District Court next week. The panel is set to discuss the management of the proceedings concerning the prime minister and potential steps to progress them. Gali Baharav-Miara was initially unresponsive to a proposed discussion, a fact conveyed to the court by prosecutors just the day prior.
The judges have deemed it beneficial for the Attorney-General herself to attend the hearing, as it would facilitate a more meaningful dialogue. Presiding Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman, along with Judges Moshe Bar-Am and Oded Shaham, explained that they reached this decision after considering the Attorney-General's refusal to participate. The panel has also noted that they may opt for a closed-door hearing should the need arise.
