Change in Netanyahu trial schedule: Hearing to be shortened for political and security reasons

Drama surrounding the Netanyahu trial schedule: After the judges rejected the Prime Minister's request to shorten the hearing yesterday, it was decided this morning that the testimony will end at 2:45 PM. According to Hadashot Mehashetah on Telegram, the decision was made for "political-security reasons."

The issue sparked criticism from the PM's supporters. Moti Kastel - Moti Kastel, a channel demonstrating clear support for Netanyahu, attacked the conduct of the judicial system and noted that while the judges had previously canceled four hearings due to "court constraints," the PM's request to shorten the hearing in order to participate in a cabinet meeting was initially rejected on the grounds that "there is no infrastructure indicating urgency."

As mentioned, despite the initial refusal, a compromise was reached allowing the hearing to end in the early afternoon. As of now, the hearing is expected to end at the updated time of 2:45 PM according to Hadashot Mehashetah on Telegram.
