    • Appeal, Attorney General v. Gruenwald, 2270. In his autobiography, Yitzhak Olshan charged that Dr. Halevy had “let go the reins” and allowed “the Court proceedings to be exploited to create an arena for a party political wrestling match,” turning the trial into “a spectacle trial.” See Olshan, Din u'devarim, 306. Olshan declares, in his memoires, that since the establishment of the State, he was not a member in any political party (Tikpelili., 294), a tradition followed by all members of the judiciary (Tikpelili., 301). Nevertheless, in the past, Olshan was an active member of the Poalei-Zion party, which later formed Mapai, and even served as secretary of its English chapter during the twenties (Tikpelili., 112-23). Olshan was “close to the elite in general, and Mapai in particular.” See Pnina Lahav, “The Supreme Court of Israel: Formative Years, 1948-1995,” Studies in Zionism 11 : 45, 51.

Olshan was also a personal friend of Moshe Sharett, the prime minister at the time of the trial and one of Tamir's major targets in his former position as Arlosoroff's successor as head of the political department of the Jewish Agency.
