Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Jerusalem District Court gives Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s until November 29 to respond to the criminal indictment against him, pushing back the original October 18 date, according to Hebrew media reports.
The delay comes as Netanyahu’s lawyers seek to obtain additional evidence from the investigation into the premier.
