Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s testimony in his corruption trial has been postponed after a court granted his request for a delay, citing national security demands.
An Israeli court has postponed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s testimony in his corruption trial after he requested a delay, with backing from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Netanyahu’s lawyers asked the court to excuse him from testifying over the next two weeks so he could focus on national security, citing the recent ceasefire with Iran and ongoing fighting in Gaza, where Israeli hostages remain held. They submitted his schedule to the court, arguing that he needed to dedicate his full attention to political and security matters.
Trump, who has called the charges a “witch hunt,” said the trial should be cancelled or Netanyahu pardoned, adding that the United States would "not stand" for the continued prosecution.
In one case, Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, are accused of accepting more than $260,000 in luxury gifts—including cigars, champagne, and jewellry—from billionaires in return for political favors. In two other cases, he is accused of seeking favourable media coverage from Israeli news outlets.
Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing, and his supporters claim the trial is politically motivated.
