The Jerusalem District Court cancels the hearing for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s criminal trial, which had been scheduled for tomorrow, due to the crisis in the hostage-prisoner release deal with Hamas.
Judge Rebecca Friedman-Feldman says she is granting the request, “owing to the hour and the urgency of making a decision.”
Netanyahu is currently holding security consultations, after Hamas announced that it was postponing the hostage-prisoner exchange slated for Saturday over alleged Israeli violations of the ongoing Gaza truce deal.
The security cabinet is set to convene to discuss the accord tomorrow morning.
