Court cancels Netanyahu's trial hearings this week

SUMMARY

The Jerusalem District Court canceled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial hearings due to classified security reasons. The decision may have been influenced by a social media post from Donald Trump, who claimed the trial could hinder Netanyahu's negotiations with Hamas and Iran. Netanyahu, indicted in 2019 for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, denies all charges and calls the trial a left-wing conspiracy.

Trump criticized the prosecutors, stating, "It is INSANITY doing what the out-of-control prosecutors are doing to Bibi Netanyahu."

Despite the court's ruling, prosecutors did not comment on Trump's remarks. Netanyahu acknowledged Trump's support in a retweet. Meanwhile, a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict remains uncertain, even as both leaders negotiate.
