[00:00:21] consecutive day of testimony from the former Attorney General
[00:00:25] Avichai Mandelblit, and after
[00:00:28] a confrontation with the Prime Minister's lawyer.
[00:00:36] All updates on what is happening there in the court. Yes, yes,
[00:00:39] so on the second day of testimony of the former Attorney General Mandelblit, he
[00:00:42] was given a side room where he could wait to avoid
[00:00:46] questions that would be directed at him from
[00:00:49] journalists. And as noted during the testimony
[00:00:52] that Netanyahu's lawyer told Mandelblit that they had
[00:00:56] trapped him, but soon there was an exchange of words.
[00:01:00] Harsh words between Netanyahu's defense and the prosecution, which
[00:01:03] rose to high tones. Attorney Haddad
[00:01:06] tells Mandelblit: "They took an Attorney General and trapped him. I
[00:01:10] will not leave the prosecution, because it is the one that filed this case. I
[00:01:14] understand the distress. There is someone sitting here whose life is at stake." He is referring
[00:01:18] to the prosecutor, who does not remain silent. She raises her voice
[00:01:21] and says: "It was my family's
[00:01:24] life. We are all prosecutors doing our
[00:01:28] the accused here." In response,
[00:01:30] the head of the panel, Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman, ordered
[00:01:34] a recess, and asked all the lawyers of the parties
[00:01:37] to enter her chamber. After about a quarter of an hour,
[00:01:41] the hearing resumes, Mandelblit returns
[00:01:44] to the courtroom, and the
[00:01:48] objections from the prosecutor continue
[00:01:51] to a series of questions from Haddad. Most of the objections
[00:01:55] are rejected by the judges, but the drama really
[00:01:58] continues, and we
[00:02:08] in local government. Kfar Saba Mayor Rafi Sa'ar
[00:02:12] and his wife are suspected of taking money, including
[00:02:15] cash, and rigging tenders for them. We turn to you,
[00:02:18] Haddas Greenberg, everything that can be said about this
[00:02:21] case. Yes, hello, yes, we are talking about a new corruption case
[00:02:25] that was exposed today by the police, in which the mayor of Kfar
[00:02:28] Saba, Rafi Sa'ar, the CEO of the Economic Company, public figures
[00:02:32] and businessmen were arrested, a total of 17 detainees. We are talking about a covert
[00:02:35] investigation that began a year ago, in which tenders
[00:02:39] in the municipality operated through bribery in almost every
[00:02:42] possible area, tenders that were rigged for cronies, businessmen, and even
[00:02:45] criminals, and in return, the mayor's wife received
[00:02:48] bundles of cash. These tenders dealt with
[00:02:52] almost everything: projects for renovating educational institutions, entertainment complexes, urban
[00:02:56] renewal, and more. We are talking about an estimated amount of bribery
[00:03:00] in the millions. Hundreds of thousands of shekels were seized
[00:03:03] at the mayor's house. We are talking about incidents that allegedly occurred
[00:03:07] from 2019, a year after Mayor Sa'ar was elected
[00:03:11] to office. The suspicions are bribery, fraud, breach of trust,
[00:03:14] and money laundering. Today at noon, all suspects will be brought for remand
[00:03:24] missile at a suspected aerial target identified in southern Lebanon. No
[00:03:28] alerts were activated in Israel and it is under investigation, while at the same time
[00:03:31] reports in Lebanon indicate Hezbollah's reconstruction of its military capabilities
[00:03:35] and the development of drones capable of carrying up to
[00:03:38] six kilograms of explosives and attacking deep
[00:03:42] inside Israel. It was also noted that the organization increased its
[00:03:45] security measures for fear of Israeli assassinations and evacuated
[00:03:48] offices and apartments
[00:03:49] in Beirut.
[00:03:53] Nathan Guttman, our correspondent in Washington, we turn to you now. You say,
[00:03:56] Nathan, that Trump has not yet decided on intervention
[00:04:00] in favor of Saudi Arabia, against the backdrop of Houthi attacks and concerns
[00:04:03] in Washington. Nathan. President Trump has not yet made a decision regarding
[00:04:07] the renewal of American military activity against Iran or its proxies.
[00:04:10] From Washington's perspective, the burning issue right now is the escalation
[00:04:14] of Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia, attacks in which
[00:04:18] at least one American citizen was also killed. Saudi Arabia has asked
[00:04:21] the United States for help, but Trump has not yet decided whether to join the fighting. The president
[00:04:25] said the day before yesterday that he is considering the option. Houthi
[00:04:28] attacks continued yesterday as well, and one fatality was reported from missile attacks
[00:04:32] on Saudi Arabia. The possibility of renewing direct American
[00:04:35] attacks against Iran is also on the table, but here too
[00:04:38] the president has not made a decision. Iran officially announced yesterday that the response it received
[00:04:42] from the United States to its seven-point plan for opening the Strait of Hormuz
[00:04:46] is insufficient, and at the same time, localized attacks were also reported on
[00:04:50] vessels in the Gulf. Any American decision that is made will also affect
[00:04:54] the midterm elections in the United States, which will be held in three weeks, and the renewal of
[00:04:57] fighting, whether in the Houthi arena or directly against Iran, is expected to cause
[00:05:01] economic consequences that will be felt in the pockets
