(All Israel News)—Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is receiving intravenous fluids due to dehydration caused by intestinal inflammation and will work from home for the next three days, his office stated on Sunday.
His planned court hearings in the ongoing corruption trial scheduled for Monday and Tuesday were postponed, as the prime minister requested to postpone the hearings to Wednesday, vowing to “make an effort” to testify that day.
The State Attorney’s Office agreed but asked Netanyahu to testify on Thursday as well.
“Under the circumstances, and considering what is written in the medical record, we cannot object… However, in light of the many hearings that have been canceled recently, we will request that the defendant testify on Wednesday and Thursday of this week,” the state attorney wrote.
Many of Netanyahu’s hearings in the past weeks were cancelled due to security considerations, as he was dealing with the fallout of the Iran campaign, the ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, and the latest crisis in Syria.
