Attorney David Petar angrily criticized the judges' decision in Case 4000, saying on Monday evening, 'See what they did to the State of Israel over nothing. For their political lust to take the seat and remove an elected prime minister. This rebellion didn't start with the reform — it started with the filing of the indictment!'
Attorney David Petar launched a sharp verbal attack Monday evening against the judges' handling of Case 4000, the corruption case against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In remarks circulated on social media, Petar accused the judicial panel of acting out of political motivations rather than legal considerations, claiming their purpose was to remove an elected prime minister. Petar's remarks add to a growing chorus of political and legal figures criticizing the panel's recommendation to drop the bribery charge in the case. Earlier Monday, Attorney Dori Schwartz and Foreign Minister Gideon Saar also criticized the judges, as The Zioneer reported. Petar went further, arguing that the entire political crisis — often dated to the 2023 judicial reform push — actually began with the 2019 filing of the indictment against Netanyahu.
