Minister says Netanyahu’s court testimony must be delayed in light of Syria upheaval

Education Minister Yoav Kisch says that in light of the strategic uncertainty created by the Assad regime’s fall in Syria, he is calling on the Jerusalem District Court to rethink its decision to start Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s testimony in his corruption trial on Tuesday.

Kisch tweets that the testimony should be delayed by three months, adding that “in light of the dramatic changes, insisting on holding the hearing at this time would be wrong and impractical.”
