Legal commentator Amit Glickman assesses that after the court reversed itself post-testimony to again strike the bribery charge, the prosecution and oversight bodies emerge vindicated, turning a seemingly lost battle into a major institutional victory.
Legal commentator Amit Glickman offered a stark assessment Monday after the Jerusalem District Court reinstated its earlier decision to dismiss the bribery charge in the Netanyahu trials — this time following the completion of the prime minister's testimony. In a message to his followers, Glickman termed the reversal 'a huge win for the prosecution and the gatekeepers,' portraying the state as having turned a near-certain procedural loss into a systemic victory. The court's original move to strike the bribery charge had been widely seen as a blow to the prosecution; its post-testimony reinstatement — in language the judges themselves revised — now shifts the narrative back in the prosecution's favor. No official statement has been issued by the court, and the full text of the decision has not yet been published. As The Zioneer reported, Netanyahu's marathon cross-examination concluded earlier this month after more than a year, with the state resting its case.
