Jerusalem, 11 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The prosecution in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trial rejected the judges’ proposal Wednesday to bring Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to court as part of discussions about a possible plea bargain or outright dismissal of one or two of the pending criminal cases against him.
The prosecution clarified that it does not oppose negotiations for a settlement but argued that summoning the attorney general to court is unnecessary.
Lead prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh told the Jerusalem District Court that Baharav-Miara and State Attorney Amit Aisman are available for direct discussions. She said the prosecutors handling the case have the professional experience and authority to relay any requests or proposals from the defense to senior legal officials.
In response, Netanyahu’s attorney, Amit Hadad, told the judges they have the authority to order Baharav-Miara to appear in court even without the prosecution’s consent.
