After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded his testimony, the judges informed the defense and prosecution that court sessions will be held five days a week following the High Holy Days, according to a Channel 12 report.
The court has informed both sides that after the High Holy Days (Tishrei holidays), trial sessions will be held five days a week. This marks a significant acceleration of the trial schedule, following the completion of Netanyahu's testimony — which spanned 98 sessions over 98 days. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the prime minister's cross-examination concluded with a sharp critique of the legal system. The new schedule, while not uncommon in Israeli criminal proceedings, signals the court's intent to move the trial toward its final stages. No date was given for the resumption after the holidays.
