The Jerusalem District Court on Tuesday rejected a request by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s attorneys to delay the next hearing in his corruption trial on the grounds that other indictments may be filed in related cases.
Netanyahu’s legal team had asked to court to wait until a final decision is made on filing indictments against telecommunications giant Bezeq, the Walla news website, and the Yedioth Ahronoth daily newspaper.
The attorneys were basing their appeal on a court’s right to merge separate trials if they are deemed tied to each other.
