[49197] The request to postpone Netanyahu's testimony: The Prime Minister points to security constraints

The reasons for postponing Netanyahu's testimony

This morning, May 4, 2026, the official reasons behind Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request to cancel or postpone his upcoming testimony were published. According to the report by Amit Segal, a journalist associated with coverage close to the right, the request comes against the backdrop of an unusual workload in the PM's schedule.

According to Amit Segal, Netanyahu's defense team clarified that: "The PM was required to be at the cabinet meeting yesterday and in additional security consultations until the early hours of the night, and today he is required to continue with a security-diplomatic schedule." The justification emphasizes that immediate security events take precedence over his obligation to appear for testimony.

This news was widely disseminated in other media outlets, including GLOBAL ANALYST 🕎 عالمي, Security Flashes 24/7, and Politics Updates. The channel 🔅 Political Arena ‼️ also quoted Segal's words verbatim, while emphasizing the political aspect of the Prime Minister's busy agenda.

As of this hour, no official decision has been received regarding the request for postponement, as the political and legal system monitors developments related to the Prime Minister's cases under the shadow of the security situation.
