Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit rejected a request by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that his upcoming pre-indictment hearing for pending charges on bribery be broadcast live to the public, rebuking Netanyahu for what Mandelblit called an ‘unprecedented’ request.
“This request is unprecedented and lacks any legal basis whatsoever,” Mandelblit wrote in response to Netanyahu’s request.
“No hearing in any matter for any suspect was ever held in a public way. Instead of making a pointless request that you knew would not be accepted, it would have been better for you to submit [summaries] of your main arguments.”
“I’d almost say that your request is disrespectful of the hearing process which we are about to enter, and that it reduces the great importance which this Attorney General attributes to it.”

PM Netanyahu is very correct in his demand.
Let the people judge!
He took some cigars, etc.
I took off the tag from my pillow “It says Federal Law prohibits removal”
We all exceeded the speed limit at some time.
Didn’t we all try to catch the light?
Was it a rolling stop or a complete stop.
There are more important things in life to occupy your office with, unless just hate the current PM, just like the Deep State hates thre POTUS.
Let the PM govern.
I’m not a fan of Bibi, he has let us down SO MANY TIMES!!!
However, the unjust that goes on by the liberal elite is unprecedented…
Bibi Clearly hit a raw nerve, the AG reaction says a lot more about his corruption than BIBI’s…
The public should know on what basis millions of dollars are spent to investigate a political opponent for the most minor infractions.. disgusting!!!!
