The day before the resumption of the prime minister’s trial, his consigliere, who also serves part-time as the Knesset speaker, delivered a message that verged on a threat to the judicial panel headed by Judge Rivka Friedman Feldman: If the evidentiary hearings are not postponed until after Election Day, March 23, the judges themselves will be guilty of “gross intervention in the elections” and “holding a drumhead court-martial” of the prime minister. The three cases against him “barely belong in the Knesset Ethics Committee,” he argued in a monologue published by the free newspaper Israel Hayom. Therefore, less than 45 days before the election, it’s forbidden to allow a situation where only the prosecution’s testimony is heard, he said.
