The parole board is to meet again to discuss an appeal by disgraced former president Moshe Katsav to have his sentence for rape and other sexual abuse reduced.

The meeting comes following a decision by Lod District Court, the Ynet news website says.

Katsav is serving a 7-year sentence, and was convicted in late 2010. He has previously tried, unsuccessfully, to have his jail time cut.
