On Tuesday, the Yerushalayim District Court announced that Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s testimony in the corruption cases against him will commence next Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. at the Tel Aviv District Court.
The decision to shift the location from Yerushalayim to Tel Aviv was made following advice from security personnel.
At the same time, the panel of judges denied Netanyahu’s request for a hearing to discuss the scheduling of the proceedings, asserting that if he has any concerns, he must submit them in writing by Wednesday. The timeline for the testimony has not yet been decided.
Last week, Netanyahu’s legal team filed a petition with the court, asking for a hearing to determine the number of days per week he would be required to testify during his trial.
Earlier in November, Netanyahu’s defense team submitted a request to the Yerushalayim District Court to delay his testimony in the corruption cases by two and a half months.
At that time, Netanyahu was originally scheduled to begin his testimony on December 2. However, his request for a delay was only partially granted, with the judges agreeing to postpone his testimony by just eight days.
