Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit got up today (Monday) to encourage and strengthen the executor of the opening speech, Liat Ben-Ari.
The two parted on the steps of the fortress at Saladin, while accompanying her as he looked across the road to the building opposite, the district court.
Mandelblit prefers to stay behind the stage.
A humble man, jealously guarding his privacy and making sure to lock his moves in the safe.
For years, Saladin has been preparing for the opening speech.
Millions of shekels were poured in, hundreds of lawyers and investigators worked to oust the elected prime minister, and everything drained into the dramatic moment in which prosecutor Ben-Ari opened her mouth.
The media echoed the messages that came out of Saladin, in an attempt to build tension and importance to the festive event.
They all lined up early in the morning to take their place in the podium they had bothered to organize for them in the judiciary.
The incident was preceded by a video released on behalf of Attorney General Mandelblit, in which the spokeswoman describes what is expected to happen tomorrow.

Ben-Ari chose to spend time overseas, while the prime minister presented his arguments at a hearing before the decision on his case, but took the trouble to emphasize his duty to appear and hear the opening speech she delivered.
So many fireworks were fired in the air, the tension was laboriously built, but the show failed.
An opening speech addressed to a jury, like all trial series in the United States, was delivered in the courtroom, but in the State of Israel there are three judges.
The speech was addressed to the media, the public and the president, who decided yesterday to begin the round of consultations regarding his decision to impose the government train on one of the Knesset members.
The tremendous effort to show that Dean is equal to the Prime Minister and most recently the citizens has failed even in this solemn moment.
The legislature ruled that the prosecution may bring opening remarks - not a speech to the nation as Mandelblit and Ben-Ari chose to deliver in the courtroom, a speech that no other defendant receives at the opening of his trial.
A trial of justice should, as stated, also be seen and heard.
Immediately afterwards the first witness testified.
One long yawn accompanied his testimony, for the simple reason that his testimony was circulated for years in the media, in every existing media.
Deliberately leaked testimony.
Although Mandelblit was required to investigate this, he chose as usual not to come to the investigation of the truth, while it may be found that one of Saladin's men should be prosecuted.
Outside the hall, groups of citizens gathered to cheer or protest.
The lack of trust in the Attorney General is at all ends of the political spectrum.
The show trial that began today with a failed play will end with a show of the failures of chief director Mandelblit.
