A court ruled that Uriah may continue working with Prime Minister Netanyahu, rejecting the prosecution's request. MK Moshe Saada said the decision is a "severe blow" to prosecutors and predicted they will not appeal to the Supreme Court, according to Israeli media.
The Jerusalem District Court ruled Thursday afternoon that attorney Uriah may continue working with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, rejecting a prosecution request to bar contact while under indictment. The decision follows an earlier ruling reported by The Zioneer at 15:39, when a judge had already permitted Uriah to communicate with Netanyahu over the prosecution's objection — today's ruling affirms and broadens that permission.
MK Moshe Saada (Likud), quoted by Israeli media, described the prosecution's defeat as a "severe blow" and assessed that prosecutors will not seek a Supreme Court appeal. The ruling reinforces the defense's argument that no restrictive order was justified.
The case remains ongoing; the court's full reasoning has not yet been published.
