Netanyahu's Trial Postponed Again

The Jerusalem District Court has once again postponed the testimony of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this time due to his illness, reports The Times of Israel.

The hearings were scheduled for July 21 and 22, but on July 20, Netanyahu's office announced that the Prime Minister was feeling unwell due to food poisoning, and he was instructed to stay at home for the next three days.

Netanyahu's lawyer, Amit Hadad, filed a motion to postpone the hearings. According to the newspaper, the Office of the Attorney General agreed but suggested that Netanyahu's testimony be heard on July 23 and 24. However, due to a conflict with other hearings, the court decided to cancel the Prime Minister's testimony for the following week.

At the end of July, Israeli courts go on summer vacation, so the hearings in Netanyahu's case have been postponed until September.

It is worth recalling that on November 21, 2019, the Israeli Attorney General announced the decision to indict Netanyahu on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three cases. The Prime Minister has repeatedly denied all the allegations against him. The indictment was submitted to the Jerusalem District Court on January 28, 2020.
