According to the summary of the meeting between the judges, prosecutors and Netanyahu's defense, that took place on June 20, "it was suggested that the state consider retracting the accusation of bribery."
The parties were informed that "there are difficulties in establishing the offense."
Nevertheless, the State Attorney's Office said that it had further evidence to prove the bribery charge, which is considered the most serious one against Netanyahu.
According to the prosecution, a bigger picture would be created when the defense presented its case.
