Netanyahu defense challenges Mandelblit over police questioning of key state witness

Assessment
The courtroom clash puts the credibility of the entire investigation on the line. If Mandelblit's oversight was loose, the defense can argue the questioning of the state witness was tainted. The core question is whether investigators followed the legal boundaries set from the top. Watch for any ruling that narrows or expands what evidence stays admissible.
