Netanyahu rebuffed after seeking to shorten his cross-examination today by 3 hours
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s lawyer Amit Hadad asks the Jerusalem District Court to shorten today’s testimony by the premier in his corruption trial by three hours, citing a “security-related schedule,” but Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman rejects the request.
Friedman-Feldman says the material she received provided no sufficient grounds to delay the start of the hearing from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Yesterday was Netanyahu’s first day of cross-examination testimony in over two months, after a hiatus due to the US-Israeli war with Iran and renewed fighting with Hezbollah.
