Netanyahu, Elovitches press attorney-general for decision on withdrawing Case 4000 bribery charge
Netanyahu and the Elovitches asked the attorney-general to clarify whether prosecutors will drop the Case 4000 bribery charge, saying the uncertainty is hindering the defense's preparations
Assessment
The request from Netanyahu and the Elovitches puts pressure on the attorney-general to resolve a key question in Case 4000 before trial preparations advance further. The defense's claim of operational uncertainty suggests that the unresolved bribery charge may be shaping strategy in ways that could backfire if the charge is dropped too late. The next move belongs to the attorney-general.
