Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s long-running corruption trial will resume on Sunday, now that the state of emergency order was lifted following the implementation of the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
“With the lifting of the state of emergency and the return of the judicial system to work, hearings will resume as usual,” a statement from the court reads, adding that they will take place between Sundays ?and Wednesdays.
Netanyahu was ?the first sitting Israeli prime minister to be charged with a crime when the charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust were brought against him in 2019. The trial began in 2020 but has faced significant delays in part due to the various conflicts that have stemmed from the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks.
