In a decision that could have significant political ramifications, the ‘Israeli’-occupied al-Quds District Court on Tuesday ordered prosecutors to hand over Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit’s authorization for police investigations into Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to The Times of ‘Israel’.

Prosecutors have seven days in which to produce the relevant documents to Netanyahu's defense team.

The court's ruling applies to three cases - 1000, 2000 and 4000 - for which Netanyahu is under indictment after his lawyers argued that the permission, which the attorney general must grant - was only provided retroactively, i.e. an investigation was begun before official authorization.

If that is found to be the case, Netanyahu's attorneys have demanded that all charges - which their client vehemently denies - must be dropped.

The court rejected prosecutors’ argument that the authorizations were not related to the investigation.

Netanyahu's team challenged various procedural issues regarding the opening of the investigation against their client, which until now have proved unsuccessful.

The prosecution has consistently maintained that “the investigations were approved according to the law” and arguing that by the Zionist law, the approvals do not need to be documented in writing.
