Aharon Barak's former aide: I woke up and was part of the herd
Dr. Yaakov Ben-Shemesh, formerly an assistant to retired Supreme Court President Aharon Barak, has opened up about his ideological shift from the political left to the right. In a candid discussion, he strongly criticized the judicial establishment and the state attorney's office. Ben-Shemesh admitted that he previously followed mainstream judicial paradigms blindly, comparing his past mindset to herd mentality. He warned that closing the ongoing trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would represent a devastating blow to the integrity of the judicial system.
