Halt to Iran Attacks Means Netanyahu's Corruption Trial Will Resume on Sunday
Courts said hearings will resume as usual after the emergency ended, restoring the schedule for a trial that began in 2020.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's protracted corruption trial resumes this Sunday, a court spokesperson announced on Thursday, hours after Israel lifted a state of emergency imposed during its recent conflict with Iran.
- Indicted in 2019, Netanyahu denies charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust; prosecutors allege he granted regulatory favors to media executives for positive coverage in Cases 1000, 2000, and 4000.
- The court is currently conducting cross-examination regarding the Bezeq-Walla affair, focusing on Netanyahu's relationship with Shaul Elovitch and an alleged "directive meeting" with Shlomo Filber, which Netanyahu flatly denied.
- "With the lifting of the state of emergency and the return of the judicial system to work, hearings will resume as usual," a court statement said; proceedings will take place between Sundays and Wednesdays.
- The trial remains entangled with broader questions about whether a sitting prime minister can govern while defending himself in court, as President Donald Trump has urged President Isaac Herzog to grant Netanyahu a pardon.
