Israeli Court Denies Netanyahu's Request to Limit Testimony in Corruption Trial

The Prime Minister will testify three days a week starting Tuesday, as judges find no justification for reduced schedule.

  • Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial testimony is set to begin on Tuesday and will occur three times a week in six-hour sessions.
  • The Jerusalem District Court rejected Netanyahu's request to reduce the frequency of his testimony, citing no compelling reason to alter the schedule.
  • Netanyahu's legal team argued for fewer sessions, citing his responsibilities related to ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.
  • The trial involves charges of fraud, breach of trust, and bribery in three separate cases, with allegations of trading favors with media moguls and wealthy associates.
  • Netanyahu denies all charges and has repeatedly sought to delay his testimony in the years-long legal proceedings.
