Tomorrow’s hearing in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial has been canceled due to a “diplomatic-security schedule,” Hebrew outlets report.
Today’s hearing was also shortened for the same reason. Netanyahu regularly asks for the hearings to be canceled or cut short due to his prime ministerial duties.
The premier faces charges of bribery and fraud and breach of trust in three cases.
