Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked to cancel the scheduled hearings in his ongoing criminal trial in two weeks due to a planned visit to Israel by Argentine President Javier Milei, Hebrew media reports.
The request filed to the Jerusalem District Court cites Netanyahu’s participation in a number of tours that Milei is expected to take during his visit.
The Walla news site reports that at the same time, Netanyahu has also asked to move one of his days of testimony next week to Tuesday instead of Wednesday, due to a series of discussions in the Knesset about the upcoming vote on the 2025 state budget.
