TL;DR

Dr. Yifat Ben Hai Segev, a prosecution witness in the trials against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said the cases were characterized by negligence and amateurism, amounting to a 'stitched-up' case. Her remarks were posted Friday afternoon via the source.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Dr. Yifat Ben Hai Segev, a prosecution witness in the ongoing criminal trials of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stated Friday that the cases against him are "between negligence and amateurism to the point of stitching up a case." Her remarks were posted on the source of reports, which attributed the quote directly to her.

This statement adds to a series of similar allegations from Netanyahu allies. The Zioneer previously reported that on June 10, Attorney Amit Hadad was filmed explaining to a passerby that the cases were "tailored," and on June 29, MK Moshe Saada (Likud) accused the police and prosecution of collusion and "stitching up" cases. All three claims have been made without presenting specific evidence, according to the earlier reports.

Ben Hai Segev is a licensed clinical psychologist who served as a prosecution witness in the trial. Her characterization of the cases as negligently handled or fabricated is notable given her role in the proceedings. The statement comes as the trial continues, with Netanyahu facing charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three separate cases.
