The Jerusalem District Court ruled Thursday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must attend the prosecution’s opening arguments next week, when the evidence stage of his corruption trial begins.
However, the judges exempted the premier from remaining in the courtroom on Monday during the testimony of the former editor of the Walla news site, Ilan Yeshua, a witness in the bribery case known as Case 4000.
The judges warned that Netanyahu’s absence cannot later be used as the basis for any future objections in the trial. The permission was given “assuming that the applicant understands the significance of his non-appearance, including the failure to raise further allegations arising from his absence,” the judges wrote.
