A court has postponed a hearing scheduled for today to address one of the alleged corruption cases against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the deal with the Hamas terrorist group to exchange Israeli hostages and imprisoned Palestinian terrorists.
Jerusalem District Court Judge Rebecca Friedman-Feldman said she had postponed the hearing because of “urgency” after Hamas’s armed wing, the Izz ad Din al Qassam Brigades, announced it was postponing a sixth hostage exchange scheduled for next Saturday, falsely alleging Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement.
Netanyahu, who has cited medical reasons for postponing the trial, met with senior defense officials to discuss Hamas's announcement.
Netanyahu has been charged since 2019 with fraud, bribery and breach of trust in three separate corruption cases that have been tried jointly since 2020, in a lengthy process in which the prime minister began testifying on December 10, after several delays.
The court ordered Netanyahu to appear three times a week, each lasting about six hours.
Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire agreement on January 15, after more than a year of war in the Gaza Strip following the Islamic terrorists' attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

This process must be stopped until the current problem with the terrorist murder groups that are enemies of Israel is resolved. Otherwise, the courts will be seen as allies of the terrorist murderers of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis.
