Netanyahu gripes over AG’s rejection of his request to delay pre-trial hearing
Prime Minister Netanyahu reacts to Attorney General Avichai Mandelbit’s decision to reject his request to further delay his pre-trial hearing, which is scheduled for early October.
“The repeated elections, which were forced in an unprecedented manner, are an exceptional event that requires exceptional attention on the part of the law enforcement authorities regarding the date of the hearing,” Hebrew media quotes a statement from Netanyahu’s office saying.
