Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is asking to delay his corruption trial testimony—again—citing "classified security and diplomatic reasons" tied to the recent ceasefire with Iran.<br /><br />In a court filing Friday, Netanyahu's lawyer requested a two-week postponement, saying the dramatic events in Israel and the Middle East make it impossible for him to testify. A sealed envelope with classified details has been submitted to the Jerusalem District Court, which will decide after prosecutors respond.<br /><br />The trial, which began in 2020, has already been pushed back multiple times due to Netanyahu's official duties. He is the first sitting Israeli prime minister to be charged with a crime—facing accusations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust filed in 2019. He denies all charges.<br /><br />With no clear end date in sight, the legal drama continues to unfold alongside the region's geopolitical turmoil. ⚖️🇮🇱<br /><br />#Netanyahu #CorruptionTrial #Israel #IranCeasefire #LegalDelay #MiddleEast #PoliticalCrisis #PlanetBrief
