In a significant development, the Jerusalem District Court has postponed the upcoming hearing in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ongoing corruption trial. The hearing, originally scheduled for Monday, was delayed following a request citing urgent diplomatic and national security matters.
The request was supported by top Israeli security officials, including the head of Mossad and the military intelligence chief. The court acknowledged that Netanyahu’s new justifications were sufficient grounds to halt proceedings temporarily.
This marks a turning point in the long-standing legal case that began in 2019, where Netanyahu faces allegations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust—charges he has consistently denied. The Prime Minister has often described the case as a politically motivated attack aimed at unseating a right-wing government.
The trial’s postponement coincides with comments from former US President Donald Trump, who labeled the legal action against Netanyahu as “insanity” and a “witch hunt.” Trump took to his Truth Social platform, saying the United States—having extended billions in aid to Israel—should not tolerate what he called prosecutorial overreach.
In response, Netanyahu reposted Trump’s remarks on X (formerly Twitter), adding, “Together, we will make the Middle East great again!”
This delay follows the recent 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran, which further complicated Netanyahu’s legal calendar. Although a previous request to defer testimony had been denied, the fresh appeal—bolstered by intelligence assessments—led the court to reconsider.
As political tensions rise, the legal process now faces fresh scrutiny from both domestic observers and international allies.
