Attorney and commentator Yisca Bina said Thursday evening that the conclusion of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial testimony caused many to realize the justice system 'lost its balance and is acting criminally.' Speaking on Yaakov Bardugo's Channel 14 program, she called for electing only candidates who will reform the legal system.
Attorney Yisca Bina, a commentator on Yaakov Bardugo's Channel 14 program, offered a sharp assessment Thursday evening as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's marathon testimony in his corruption trial concluded. Speaking after Netanyahu's 98-session witness stand appearance ended Wednesday, she argued that the proceedings have eroded public trust and called for structural legal reform. "This caused many to realize the system here lost its balance and is acting criminally," Bina said. "It cost us a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, and people's rights were harmed. Therefore, we must elect only people who will change the legal system."
The Zioneer reported earlier this week that Netanyahu concluded his testimony on Wednesday with a blistering attack on the justice system, calling it "vile, false, and malicious." Bina's remarks amplify a growing chorus among right-wing commentators who argue the trial — which began with Netanyahu's indictment in 2019 on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust — has become politically motivated. Netanyahu has denied all charges, calling them a persecution by the legal establishment.
Bina's statement did not offer specific policy proposals, but it reflects the framing of the case as a catalyst for judicial overhaul, a key theme in the current coalition's agenda. The trial itself continues with closing arguments and a verdict expected in the coming months.
