Netanyahu Trial Judges Reject Former AG's Request to Postpone Testimony
Judges in the corruption trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have rejected a request by former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to postpone his testimony. Mandelblit had asked to delay his appearance as a witness until after the upcoming elections, citing, among other reasons, the upcoming academic year's start. The court's decision means Mandelblit's testimony will proceed as scheduled, despite his stated concerns.
The trial, which resumed in April after a hiatus, involves charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust against Netanyahu. Mandelblit, who served as Attorney General during the period when the alleged offenses occurred and approved the indictment, is a key witness for the prosecution. His testimony is expected to shed light on the decision-making processes that led to the charges against the prime minister.
