Netanyahu's Attorneys Request to Reject Trial: "We Did Not Receive Full Material"

As we recall, in early February, Netanyahu's attorneys refused to respond to the indictments filed against him in files 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000, because the prosecution did not deliver all the materials to them without the necessary permits.

Prior to that, the State Attorney's Office filed a request for secrecy over some of the materials in the prime minister's files on the grounds that they were intelligence materials. The decision means that the materials will not be handed over to Netanyahu's defense team. The Prosecutor's Office asked the court to grant a 45-day extension for the certificate to be issued. The Likud then argued that the extension request indicates the "haste" of the prosecutor's office in filing the indictment, and, more importantly, claimed that the indictment without a certificate of privilege has grounds for revocation.
