Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asks to cancel a scheduled hearing this week in his ongoing criminal trial due to a discussion in the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
The request filed to the Jerusalem District Court says the testimony would come at the expense of the prime minister appearing at “an important security discussion that cannot be changed or moved.”
The premier’s lawyers ask that the testimony be cancelled on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Last month, judges granted Netanyahu’s request to hear his testimony twice a week instead of three times a week as originally planned, however he has been expected to testify on three days this week after asking that a hearing be canceled last week.
