Netanyahu Corruption Trial Judges Aim for Verdict Within Two Years
The corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resumed at the Tel Aviv District Court. On September 14, a former head of the police investigation department, retired Brigadier General Eran Kamin, is scheduled to testify as a defense witness. Three defense witnesses are expected to testify this week.
Following the upcoming holidays, the court plans to accelerate the proceedings, scheduling witness testimonies five times a week. Legal circles suggest the judicial panel aims to reach a verdict before the presiding judge, Rivka Friedman Feldman, retires in 2028. This accelerated pace indicates the court's intention to conclude the lengthy trial within the next two years.
The trial, which has been ongoing, involves multiple charges against Netanyahu, who denies any wrongdoing. The prosecution has presented its case, and the defense is now calling its witnesses. The proceedings are closely watched as they could impact Netanyahu's political future.
