ALBAWABA- Iran's "Tehran Times" newspaper reported on Sunday that Iran has acquired extensive documents from the Israeli judiciary, comprising approximately 70,000 pages of judicial records. 

Among these documents are significant and sensitive details concerning the legal case of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

The newspaper did not disclose how Iran obtained these documents, some of which are highly confidential. The documents reveal information about Netanyahu's purported chronic mental illness.

In response, a political party led by Yair Lapid, "There is a Future," has submitted a request to the Israeli judiciary to assess whether Netanyahu is fit for high office in Israel. The documents also suggest that the Israeli Supreme Court took this matter seriously. 

However, a senior judicial official halted proceedings, claiming that the court lacks the necessary authority to adjudicate on this case and that continuing could jeopardize Israeli national security. 

Additionally, the documents contain information about systematic and organized Israeli discrimination against Palestinians in 1948.
