As testimony continues today in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s graft case, his defense team tells the Jerusalem District Court judges they oppose a motion filed by prosecutors to accelerate the trial by lengthening hearings and adding additional ones.

Meanwhile, Arnon Milchan provides further testimony, confirming to prosecutors that he reached out to Netanyahu regarding the extension of a law affecting his tax eligibility and the merger of two television networks.
