[86578] The court rejected Netanyahu's request to shorten his testimony for the sake of the cabinet meeting

Tensions between the echelons: The court rejected Netanyahu's request

In the last day, a procedural clash was recorded between the judiciary and the political echelon. According to the report by Amit Segal, who is identified with positive positions towards Netanyahu and the right, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested to shorten his testimony in court by 3 hours tomorrow. The goal: to be available and participate physically in the planned cabinet meeting.

However, Amit Segal reports that the court chose to reject Netanyahu's request. Following the refusal, the Prime Minister was forced to open the cabinet meeting remotely via telephone, as was also published on the Politics Updates channel.

The event illustrates the complexity in managing the schedule of a Prime Minister who is conducting legal proceedings in parallel with managing the country, as the enforcement and judicial authorities insist on maintaining the discussion schedules without special concessions for the defendant in the 1000, 2000, and 4000 cases.
