Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said that a decision by the Jerusalem District Court to proceed with his criminal trial before the March 23 elections could be viewed as interference in the political process.
Netanyahu was speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem hours after he appeared at Jerusalem District Court to respond to charges of fraud, bribery and breach of trust in three separate investigations.
