Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu opened his 13th day of testimony in court on Wednesday with a special request.
“We are now accompanying Shiri Bibas and her children [on their last journey]; I think it is appropriate that we stand for a minute of silence, to remember who we are fighting for,” Netanyahu said.
Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman declined the request, responding, “Everyone remembers who we are fighting against and what we are fighting for; right now, let us proceed as usual.”
On Tuesday, Netanyahu did not take the stand, as the court session was canceled due to undisclosed security concerns discussed behind closed doors. IDF intelligence chief Shlomi Binder attended the proceedings, which was an unusual move, as he had been summoned to provide testimony.
The hearing was scheduled at Netanyahu’s request, with the goal of shortening the number of days he would need to testify. Due to the sensitivity of the discussion, the official transcript was handwritten and secured in a locked safe.
A security official entered the courtroom and instructed all attendees to sign a confidentiality agreement before the proceedings could continue.

What exactly would a moment of silence do for them or for their souls? Nothing! Zero! A Jewish country should know better than do dumb things like this. Instead of a moment of silence, use the Muslim’s muezzin as well as the media and broadcast Kaddish for them all over the entire country and the world. Now this would be good for the Kedoshim.
It just proves the courts are biased and self hating Jews. They are secular, and in the secular world the moment of silence is like a recognition of what’s happening. The courts refusal is showing that even for themselves, secularists, they don’t care for the hostages and never did.
You’re exactly right.
Hmmmmm……
Does that sound unbiased?
