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.”

Along with his official consultations on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu s criminal cases, Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit convened a forum of top legal scholars with whom he discussed the cases – without informing the Justice Ministry or the State Prosecutor’s Office.
The participants at the meetings, which were not held in the Attorney General’s Office, were asked to keep them confidential. The group was convened in 2019, prior to Mendelblit s decision to indict the prime minister, which was formally announced in November of that year.
“I was told Mendelblit is in a bit of a bind – he plans to go for an indictment but doesn’t sufficiently trust his people on the macro questions. I saw it as a mission to help him,” one member of the group said.
