The interrogation of Nir Hefetz, a state witness at the trial of opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, was presented this morning (Wednesday) in the Jerusalem District Court during his cross-examination by Adv. Boaz Ben-Tzur, Netanyahu's defense attorney. At the hearing, Hefetz testified that His position will destroy him.
Documentation from Hefetz's interrogation was later presented, in which an investigator was heard saying to Hefetz: "There is a good chance that after the story the children and your wife will not want to keep in touch with you. You face existential danger to your family cell. Remember what I told you.
When asked by Adv. Ben-Zur who this could affect, Hefetz replied: "The threat was clear that if I did not provide a version, my family would be destroyed."

As you may recall, yesterday Hefetz said in his testimony that he was interrogated by draconian means and disproportionately.
Hefetz said that the investigators constantly read questions from his cell phone, and even said that even while he was traveling on the road - they still continued to interrogate him.
He said, "I was under investigation on the trips as well. They told me 'look at your lawyers, they look so kicked out after they lost the hearing. Maybe think again'. You can not describe everything you see in the video. The pressures were incessant."
