Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told judges in his trial that he seeks a discussion on accelerating proceedings, according to Israeli media reports.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the judges presiding over his criminal trial that he wants to hold a discussion on speeding up the pace of proceedings, according to a report by N12 (shared via the Zioneer's curated feed on Friday at 17:17 Jerusalem time). The exact context and the court's response were not detailed. The request comes as the trial, which touches on Cases 1000, 2000, and 4000, has progressed through witness testimony and procedural hearings. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Netanyahu has been required to attend court sessions, at times affecting his ability to travel to Jerusalem for cabinet or political meetings. The substance of the judge's response and any scheduling implications remain unconfirmed.
