The latest development in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing trial: journalist Amit Segal (N12) reports that the witness list for the proceedings will include top security officials — IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) Director Ronen Bar. Segal highlights that the subpoena of Netanyahu himself is extremely unusual, given that during his testimony so far he was barely questioned about the specific affair at the center of this phase of the trial. The inclusion of the security chiefs suggests the court intends to probe matters of national security decision-making. The report is based on a single journalistic source and further details on the specific affair and the court's schedule are pending.
