PM’s defense team begins talks with Mandelblit to set hearing date
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s attorneys have begun talks with Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit’s office to schedule a pre-indictment hearing on the prime minister’s three criminal cases.
According to the Globes newspaper, Netanyahu’s attorneys will seek to delay the hearing by as much as six months, while Mandelblit is likely to agree only to a far shorter postponement.
However the current deadline of July 10 is almost certain to be pushed back.
