Mandelblit's testimony halted after high-pitched confrontation: 'We are not the defendants here!'

|
An exchange between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's attorney, Amit Hadad, and prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh escalated to high tones during the testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit. The lawyer claimed that she and her colleagues at the State Attorney's Office 'misled Mandelblit,' and Tirosh responded sharply that these were personal attacks. Hadad claimed: 'I understand the distress, someone is sitting here for whom this is the case of her life.' Tirosh, raising her voice: 'My life is my family. We are all prosecutors doing our jobs. We are not the defendants here.' Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman halted the proceedings and ordered the lawyers to enter her chambers. The hearing has since resumed.
