Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial testimony was canceled just an hour before it was scheduled to start on Monday, Israeli media reported. The cancellation was based on unspecified "security reasons" at the request of his attorney, Amit Hadad, the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported. Monday's trial was scheduled after a prolonged pause due to the war with Iran.

Charges

Netanyahu faces bribery, fraud, and breach of trust charges in three cases known as Cases 1000, 2000, and 4000. Prosecutors filed indictments in the cases in November 2019. Case 4000 involves allegations that Netanyahu advanced regulatory decisions benefiting Shaul Elovitch, the former owner of the Walla news website and a former executive at the Bezeq telecommunications company, in exchange for positive coverage.

ICC warrant

In addition to the corruption trial, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant in November 2024 against Netanyahu on accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip.

Political context

The cancellation comes amid growing tension between Netanyahu and senior army officials, who have accused him of seeking a scapegoat for Israel's failures in Lebanon and the partial results of its confrontation with Iran. The war with Iran began on Feb. 28, and a ceasefire remains in place.
