Netanyahu requests to postpone the legal hearing citing security needs

In reports published today, May 5, 2026, it emerged that the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, filed an official request to postpone the legal hearing regarding his case that was supposed to be held today.

According to the Iranian channels کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران (affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards) and حامیان پزشکیان, Netanyahu requested to postpone the hearing planned for the afternoon, between 13:00 and 16:00, this "due to his security plan".

A similar report also appeared in the Iranian news agency آخرین خبر, which cites a local news site, stating that Netanyahu justified the request by the need to address an urgent security schedule, which prevented him from appearing in court at the appointed time.
