for a hearing on his corruption trial, June 26, 2023. (Alex Kolomoisky/Pool)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s legal team on Sunday requested a new, 15-day
postponement of the beginning of his testimony in court in his ongoing criminal
trial, saying that despite their best efforts, the prime minister and his
defense attorneys will not be prepared by the scheduled date of December 2.
Earlier this month, Netanyahu’s defense team requested a 10-week delay, but the
court rejected the request, saying it had given him five months to prepare when
it originally scheduled the date back in July.
Netanyahu’s lawyers said that since the court rejected that request on November
13, and even in the months before that, they and the prime minister had made “a
supreme effort” to prepare for his giving testimony, including daily meetings at
very late hours.
“Despite this supreme effort, the defense is not prepared, and will not be able
to meet the goal of being prepared, for beginning the defense by December 2,”
Netanyahu’s defense team said.
His lawyers also said that preparations were further encumbered by the decision
by the International Criminal Court on Thursday to issue an arrest warrant for
Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

They therefore requested that Netanyahu begin his testimony on December 17. This
testimony is expected to last several hours a day and take weeks to complete.

In the previous request, defense lawyers had claimed that the security
situation, due to the ongoing war on several fronts, had made it impossible to
properly prepare the prime minister for testifying in court.
Prosecutors opposed the request, declaring that it was in the public interest
for the trial to proceed to a conclusion as quickly as possible.

The prime minister has been charged with fraud and breach of trust in two cases
and bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in a third. He was indicted almost five
years ago, in January 2020, and the trial began in May of that year.
Netanyahu has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has claimed that the
charges were fabricated in a witch hunt led by the police and state prosecution.
Netanyahu has so far not taken the stand, though he has appeared in court on a
handful of occasions. As the main defendant, Netanyahu is scheduled to be the
first person to face cross-examination as the defense presents its witnesses in
the three cases.
The trial has faced criticism over the slow pace of proceedings. As things
stand, the proceedings, including potential appeals, have been seen as unlikely
to end before 2028-2029.
Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of
Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United
States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship
beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to
be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's
entire, complex story.
Your support through The Times of Israel Community helps us continue to keep
readers around the world properly informed about the critical Israel-US
relationship. Do you appreciate our news coverage? If so, please join the ToI
Community today.
