This morning (Tuesday), the second day of the testimony of state witness Nir Hefetz will open in the Jerusalem District Court, as part of the hearings in the 4000 case in the Netanyahu trial. News 12 legal commentator and 103FM presenter, Guy Peleg, spoke with Golan Yokfaz and Anat Davidov and concluded the first day of the testimony.
“It should be understood that the fact that Nir Hefetz crossed the lines and moved fully to the other side, and opened to the end, and told everything. This is a fact that Netanyahu has known for several years. Fear, I think all of this was wrong, “Peleg began his commentary.
“He came because in Israel the law should explain a trial conducted in the presence of the defendants. Declares that as a result he will not raise future claims as to the proceeding, so the court in almost all cases ordered release of the defendants from appearing, so it was clear that even if this court, even if thinking otherwise, has not much room in this matter. “As for evidence that it was not alleged that Netanyahu was in contact with them, it was almost obvious. As for Nir Hefetz, the judges hinted that they wanted the defendant to come and yesterday in the middle of the hearing he was released, there was a Knesset plenum and he will return to court in the near future.”
Commenting on Hefetz’s statement that Netanyahu was as prime minister in the media as he was in security matters, Peleg said: “I want to divide the answer into two. These media will have the headlines, and he threw it away yesterday at nine and a minute. The claim among Netanyahu and his associates that it is not possible to say that this communication is passed on to the merchant, and that it is not possible to establish a bribery case when the killing is control of the media.
“So first of all comes this witness, and the prosecution that relies among others on this witness, and explain that there is a special case, there is an extreme obsession of a certain leader for whom the media is the appearance of everything, he and his family and therefore this description is very important. Netanyahu said that communication is important to every leader. “Influence, but how many people enter the content and are exposed to the content of the site,” Peleg concluded.
