Netanyahu trial delayed to hash out charge sheet ‘mistakes’

The trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been delayed by several weeks to allow for a hearing on changes to the indictment against him.

The Jerusalem District Court, which is hearing the case, says a session on December 6 will now deal with claims Netanyahu’s defense has raised about what it says are incorrect facts in the charge sheet.

That means a plea hearing will now only take place on January 13 of next year, and the evidentiary phase of the trial will kick off in early February, the court says.
