The prosecution in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial has requested the court not to hear defense witnesses simultaneously with the defendant's testimony after Netanyahu concludes his primary testimony on May 7. The request stated that 'the defendant's attorneys will not be able to prepare with him for defense witnesses, as they should avoid communicating with him once his primary testimony ends. Having a defendant hear his attorney cross-examine witnesses in the case, including summarizing testimonies and evidence or elaborately presenting defense theories, while the defendant is still testifying - is an undesirable situation that could compromise the authenticity of the defendant's version.'
