Attorney Ram Caspi, an outside counsel for the defense team, said at the hearing of Netanyahu's case in the Justice Ministry, "Knowing the State Attorney's Office, I have no doubt that in the course of the hearing, he will formulate his recommendations in a professional and relevant manner, ignoring the background noise, demonstrations, and media pressures. I attach great importance to hearing proceedings."
He added that "Netanyahu isn't even thinking of a plea bargain. The issue didn't come up in internal talks either."
