Netanyahu Seeks to Postpone Court Hearing Amid Corruption Cases

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has requested a postponement of his court session scheduled for today. This move follows a pattern of previous attempts by Netanyahu to delay legal proceedings, often citing internal matters or security developments as reasons for his absence.

According to a report by Yedioth Ahronoth, Netanyahu has repeatedly sought to prolong the judicial process with various pretexts, an action that has drawn criticism from political activists and opponents alike.

Sources report that on the previous day, Netanyahu sent a formal letter to the President of Israel requesting a pardon in his ongoing corruption cases. However, the request has faced opposition from elements within Israel’s political system as well as protests from groups in the occupied territories.

Some members of the opposition have indicated that they would be willing to consider supporting a pardon for Netanyahu—on the condition that he steps down from power. These developments come amid a politically charged atmosphere in Israel, heavily influenced by Netanyahu’s controversial standing in legal and corruption matters.
