Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday demanded that judges slow the pace of his corruption trial, and disclosed that his lead counsel Amit Hadad and the entire defense team had asked to resign. The remarks were made during a court hearing, according to Israeli media reports. The revelation marks a dramatic turn in the proceedings, which have been ongoing for years. As The Zioneer reported on Friday, Netanyahu had previously pressed to accelerate the trial schedule — a position now seemingly reversed. The reasons for the legal team's resignation request were not specified in the reports.
