Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu temporarily halted his cross-examination to hold a security consultation on an international flotilla en route to the Gaza Strip, heading to the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv after receiving judges’ approval to pause proceedings, the Ynet news site reports.

The Global Sumud Flotilla reportedly set sail from Sicily two days ago with more than 60 vessels carrying symbolic humanitarian aid for Gaza.

Netanyahu is expected to return to the Tel Aviv District Court and resume his testimony once the discussion concludes.
