Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Arnon “Noni” Mozes, a fellow defendant in one of the criminal cases Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on trial for, has told Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara that he isn’t interested in non-binding mediation, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
But the report says that if Baharav-Miara were to sign off on such a process, Mozes is expected to go along.
In March, one of the three judges in the trial asked the state prosecution and the defense teams to consider a non-binding “criminal mediation” process, in part because the proceedings are proving so protracted.
Mozes is charged with bribery in so-called Case 2000, in which he and Netanyahu are accused of attempting to reach a quid pro quo in which Yedioth Ahronoth would give flattering coverage of the premier in exchange for legislation weakening a rival daily. Netanyahu was indicted for fraud and breach of trust in the case.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
