Advisors to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Jonathan Orich and Ofer Golan, have submitted a request to the Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court to dismiss a harassment charge against them related to state witness Shlomo Filber, in the so-called Case 4000. They argue that new evidence has emerged which contradicts the testimony of police investigator Rinat Saban. According to Saban, there was no consultation among officers prior to the search of the defendants' mobile phones, which is a critical aspect of the defense's argument.

The background of the case relates to the controversial Case 4000, which implicates Netanyahu in alleged corruption involving the Bezeq telecommunications company. The defense claims that the charges of harassment were built on flawed police procedures and lack of cohesive investigative practices, potentially undermining the validity of the entire case against them.

If the court rules in favor of the advisors, it could set a significant precedent in their ongoing legal battles and may influence public perception of the legitimacy of the ongoing investigations into Netanyahu's administration. The implications of this case extend beyond the defendants themselves, as they shape the dialogue around accountability and justice in Israeli politics amid a backdrop of political turbulence and corruption allegations affecting multiple officials.
