One of the legal experts chosen to advise Israel's attorney general on the criminal cases against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before he was indicted said Tuesday that the group of scholars that was involved in the process sought “to exert influence."
Haaretz reported on Tuesday that Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit secretly convened this forum alongside his official discussions with prosecutors and other Justice Ministry officials. One of the experts, Prof. Yedidya Stern, told Army Radio that he was the one who proposed the group and chose its members, and that he intentionally chose people “whose positions can’t be predicted in advance.”
