Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to appear at the Jerusalem District Court on Monday in a personal effort to persuade the judges not to accelerate the pace of his corruption trial to five hearings per week, according to a report by journalist Yael Glickman cited by i24NEWS.
The court previously announced it would move to a five-day weekly schedule after the High Holy Days—a step the defense reportedly opposes. The judges, including Rivka Friedman-Feldman who faces a retirement deadline, have pushed for faster proceedings. A Shin Bet security coordination meeting was taking place at the courthouse Sunday, ahead of the expected visit.
The trial, involving charges of fraud, bribery, and breach of trust, has been ongoing for years. Netanyahu, who completed his testimony earlier this year, has denied all charges.
