If PM skips hearing charges will be filed the next day, official said to warn
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 13 quotes an unnamed source in the State Prosecutor’s Office as warning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that if he or his lawyers do not pick up the legal document for his pre-indictment hearing by May 20, a date will be set for the hearing that will not be changed.
“If he wants — he’ll take the material. If he doesn’t — he won’t. That’s his problem,” the source says. “If he doesn’t show up for the hearing, we will file an indictment a day later.”
The official blasts Netanyahu’s behavior as “odd and embarrassing,” adding that he’s “making a mockery of the system.”
