About two months ago, the Attorney General began the last trimester of his six-year term. If this period is deducted from the last months remaining after a replacement committee is set up for his replacement, there is not much time left - and some dimensions of his term can already be estimated.

During his tenure as secretary of state, Mandelblit was questioned several times on suspicion of committing fraudulent offenses of fraud and breach of trust, and the police recommended that he be criminally prosecuted. Mendelblit, as secretary of government, claimed that then Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein was sewing a case for him. Weinstein finally closed the case without setting a grounds for closure, but recommended that he be dismissed from the post of secretary of state, in light of a normative value defect that allegedly fell within his behavior in the Harpaz-Ashkenazi affair. Already in those days, the seeds linking Mandelblit to the Supreme Court justices were apparently sown. Petition against his appointment to the post

The court was rejected, with the top judges trying to "purge" him of the Harpaz-Ashkenazi affair, though they did not even listen to recordings where he sounded conversational with the then chief of staff, Ashkenazi. Mandelblit was appointed to the post while the criminal case against him remained open in the police criminal record. The Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office (Criminal) thought the case should be closed on grounds of lack of evidence; As far as their opinion was concerned - Mendelblit could not seem to continue his duties as a lawyer.

To this day, the days in which the Ministry of Justice has been working are blurring to minimize Mandelblit's part in the case. When asked who decided to close the criminal case, the Ministry of Justice replied: "All the senior officials who dealt with the issue thought that the appropriate cause for closing the case in the circumstances created was fault."

And here we come to the recent events in which Mandelblit, as the attorney general, jumped into the political pool in the petition against the head of the Edelstein Legislature. He expressed his opinion in the judicial process loud and clear against the head of the Legislature, at a time when he had no arm and leg in light of his duties. Mendelblit may be grateful to the Supreme Judges for approving his appointment as a consultant, and they have decided not to allow the publication of the prohibition order on his talks with Ashkenazi regarding the Harpaz-Ashkenazi document.

Yesterday, the president of the Supreme Court Esther Hayes cast its weight in rejecting the request for further hearing in a decision not to remove the advertising ban order protecting the "military" Ashkenazi duo Mandelblit. On these sensitive days, when the new government's cornerstones are decided, a strong embrace resides with the senior representative of the Blue and White Party, Ashkenazi, and the Judea and Samaria.



And finally, Mendelblit succeeded in lowering his status in his fight against the appointment of the state's attorney.
