During the High Court hearing: an unprecedented attack on the supreme judges
Hellman said that "since then and never has the Legal Advisor to the Government had the authority to declare the Prime Minister as a fortress". He also stated that "According to the law, the one who determines that the prime minister is a prisoner is the government and not the ombudsman."
Earlier, Hellman claimed that the Prime Minister could be taken out of custody when he said that "it cannot be categorically ruled out that in exceptional concrete circumstances it will be possible to bring claims to the court that the Prime Minister's activities to benefit his situation following his criminal trial could raise claims of custody. Taking a prime minister to prison – only in extreme situations."
To this President Ester Hayut replied: "Apart from the fact that the Ombudsman does not have the authority to declare, you are saying another thing – that the violation of the order of affairs does not lead to impunity."
