103fm legal commentator and broadcaster Guy Peleg spoke today (Monday) with Ben Caspit and Aryeh Eldad about the testimony of Nir Hefetz during the Netanyahu trial, and assessed what was behind his decision to become a state witness: “It is likely that if he had not signed the agreement, Charge for bribery. ”
Peleg said that “Nir Hefetz said that the pressure exerted on him during the interrogation was very heavy and even he said monstrous, but that his decision to become a state witness was rational. The investigations, according to him, the game that Netanyahu was not questioned caused his detention to be extended because he became a suspect in the disruption. “
He explained: “Nir Hefetz, according to his testimony, committed a serious criminal offense which is a disruption. Hefetz testified today that he thought that all his mediation between Elovich and Netanyahu and all his action was not criminal, and that the only criminal action was disruption. With his lawyer in the interrogation room, who told him to take into account that the offense of obstruction radiates to the original offense, i.e. who wants to disrupt an investigation? A person who is afraid that evidence will link him to a criminal offense “This is an assessment that seems very reasonable to me.”
Peleg added that “Hefetz reinforced Netanyahu’s great involvement in Walla’s abnormal response. He said that the Netanyahu couple visited a military base and that Netanyahu personally gave him instructions regarding his wife’s photos from the base. “.

He went on to talk about the 2000 case: “In the 2000 case his role is completely different. If in the 4000 case he indicates criminal offenses, in the 2000 case he mainly lays the foundations for understanding the entire case. Through the testimony, we understand the great significance Netanyahu attached to Yedioth Ahronoth. Of Moses and an object with someone. “
“If we want to sum up the day of the hearings, it was a dramatic moment for Nir Hefetz where he burst into tears so much that he could not continue, it stopped the hearing. It was the moment he said he was in a very difficult interrogation situation, he is already debating whether To become a state witness, accompanied by three attorneys. “
