Netanyahu Trial: Judges Reject Ex-AG's Request to Postpone Testimony
The Jerusalem District Court judges presiding over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial have temporarily rejected a request by former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to postpone his testimony until after the upcoming elections. Mandelblit had sought the delay, citing his new role as Dean of the Law Faculty and the anticipated workload with the start of the academic year. However, his request was not granted at this time.
Netanyahu's defense attorneys had requested that Mandelblit be summoned to testify in October, close to the Knesset elections, as part of the defense's case. The judges' decision means Mandelblit's testimony will proceed as scheduled for now, despite his stated reasons for seeking a postponement.
