The judges of the Jerusalem District Court meet with security officials and officials from the court’s administration to discuss the possibility of having Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu testify in the Jerusalem District Court house instead of the Tel Aviv District Court house, as he has done until now.
Netanyahu is on trial in the Jerusalem District Court, but his testimony, which began on December 10, was moved to the Tel Aviv court since the Jerusalem court does not have bombproof spaces, and it was considered a security risk to conduct the prime minister’s testimony there.
The Jerusalem District Court states that following the meeting on Tuesday morning, the security and administrative officials will complete their review of the situation and file their position to the court by May 12.
Netanyahu’s testimony, including cross-examination, is expected to last for most of 2025.
