Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s long-running corruption trial will resume on Sunday, the courts’ spokesperson says, hours after Israel lifted a state of emergency imposed during its war with Iran.
“With the lifting of the state of emergency and the return of the judicial system to work, hearings will resume as usual,” a statement from the courts says, adding that they would take place from Sundays to Wednesdays.
