[79978] The hearing in the Netanyahu trial was postponed to 10:00: The Prime Minister's request for 12:30 was partially rejected

Tension at the start of the hearing in the Netanyahu trial

As part of the hearings being held in the 1000/2000/4000 cases, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu filed a request with the court today to postpone the start of his testimony from the scheduled time (09:00) to 12:30. As reported in Ziv Rubinstein - Until the war ends and Eli Tzipori, the reasoning for the request was that the Prime Minister had finished a "rolling diplomatic event and security consultations until the small hours of the night."

In response, the Courts Administration published a decision stating that the hearing would begin at 10:00. Various media outlets, including News Voice in 🆃🅴🅻🅴🅶🆁🅰️🅼🔴 and News Arena, confirmed the decision, which constitutes a partial rejection of the defense's request.

The reports surrounding the affair reflect different approaches. While sources like War Room 🎗️ and Security Flashes 24/7 presented the incident as a technical request due to political constraints and the induction ceremony of the head of the Mossad, Or-ly Barlev - Democracy News criticized the timing, claiming that this is a recurring pattern of attempting to shorten the hearing days, while casting doubt on the reasons detailed in the request.
