Court grants Netanyahu’s request to cut short today’s corruption trial hearing

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asks to end today’s corruption trial hearing early, cutting short his testimony, due to having flown back to Israel from Washington overnight.

The court grants his request.

Earlier today, his defense attorney Amit Hadad told the court that the premier was “very tired” as he hadn’t slept last night, and said he didn’t think it was “in the court’s interest for a person to testify bleary-eyed.”
