In August, Netanyahu rejected a draft clash of interests agreement proposed through Mandelblit, saying that the attorney general himself was in a clash of interests, and mentioned the resolution expired last year to qualify the prime minister in 3 corruption cases. .
The Hebrew media reported at the time that Netanyahu had written to Mandelblit that his proposal was “unreasonable, lacking authority, and contaminated by a clash of inherent interests. “
“From now on I tell you that I reject the draft interest shock agreement you have proposed,” Netanyahu wrote. “I will act in accordance with binding interest shock regulations and take steps to inform the state comptroller of the matter. “
But the prime minister later told the High Court that he would play no role in appointing a senior justice minister and an Israeli police commissioner.
“The Prime Minister has announced that, for the sake of public clarity and without undermining his claims [that it is legally legal to do so], he will deal with the appointment of the Attorney General, the Attorney General and the Police Commissioner,” Netanyahu’s reaction to a petition through the Movement for a Quality Government said.
Netanyahu’s trial for taking bribes, fraud and failure to accept as true began in May in the Jerusalem District Court.
Netanyahu is accused of providing to promote the law to gain advantages from harsh Israeli media tycoons in exchange for a more positive policy in his publications. Film mogul Arnon Milchan and Australian tycoon James Packer denies irregularities.
