The Jerusalem District Court cancels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s testimony in his criminal trial, which had been scheduled for today, due to the severe terror attack in Jerusalem this morning.

The court instructs Netanyahu’s lawyers to respond by 2 p.m. today to the prosecutor’s request that a hearing be held tomorrow instead.
