The Jerusalem District Court tells Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s lawyer Amit Hadad that starting next week, four hearings will be held a week for the the prime minister’s criminal trial, with Netanyahu testifying in three of them.
Hadad told the court last week he would not be able to attend hearings on Sundays since he had court hearings in other cases set for Sundays, but the court insists that the extra day of hearings it has added must take place.
Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman writes that Netanyahu can testify on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and that the defense can have other witnesses testify on Sundays, if that would be more convenient for Hadad.
