Netanyahu corruption trial delayed for third time

(05.07.2021)

The trial has been frozen since June 16 and will now reconvene on July 19 instead of the prior dates of July 5 or 12 for restarting witness testimony of July 5, reported The Jerusalem Post.

The court‘s decision effectively means that the trial will not fully restart until October; the court‘s summer recess runs from July 21 – September 1 and many of September‘s hearings will be canceled due to the Jewish High Holy Days and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles).
