Before Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara’s decision against a non-binding mediation process in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial, the three Jerusalem District Court judges overseeing the case recently met with the sides and pushed them to agree, Channel 12 news reports.

The network, which doesn’t cite a source, asserts the target audience of the meeting two weeks ago was Baharav-Miara, who informed Netanyahu’s legal team earlier this week that the process would not move forward.

Netanyahu’s lawyers reportedly met with Baharav-Miara in April to discuss potential mediation, seeking to convince her to back such a process, which was first raised in March when one of the judges asked prosecutors and defense attorneys to consider it.
