A hearing scheduled for tomorrow in the ongoing corruption trial of former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been delayed after one of the judges was exposed to an individual with COVID, Haaretz reports.
Judge Moshe Bar-Am came in contact with a COVID patient and therefore the hearing has been canceled by president Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman, according to the report.
The judges were supposed to be responding to an appeal by Netanyahu’s attorneys demanding that materials taken illegally from the phone of state witness Shlomo Filber be turned over to the court or to defendants.
