The Jerusalem District Court agrees to postpone by another week Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s testimony in his criminal trial due to “post-operative medical developments.”
Netanyahu’s lawyer Amit Hadad makes the request for the new postponement on Friday, saying that because of the “medical developments” following Netanyahu’s surgery earlier this month, he needs an extra week of rest.
Hadad adds that Netanyahu was unable to sufficiently rest this week and had to “deviate from the medical advice that was given to him” due to the “unusual and unexpected events taking place in the country” which were of an “extraordinary and humanitarian” nature, apparently referring to the hostage release deal which has been negotiated this week and required Netanyahu to work.
The court agrees to the delay and states that the next hearing will now be scheduled for January 27.
