The Jerusalem District Court has postponed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled testimony in his corruption trial, citing 'security-diplomatic reasons'. The court will instead hear the testimony of Ilanit Filber, the wife of Netanyahu's former confidant and state witness Shlomo Filber.
Netanyahu's last confirmed testimony was on February 23, days after the US and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran, triggering a war that spread across the Middle East.
The prime minister's office requested the cancellation of his testimony, citing classified security and diplomatic reasons connected to the recent events in the Middle East.
Netanyahu is facing bribery charges in Case 4000, the Bezeq-Walla affair, and has been named in three separate cases, charged with accepting bribes, fraud, and breach of trust.
