Education Minister Kish called for the postponement of Netanyahu’s testimony in court

Education Minister Yoav Kish on Sunday morning called on the attorney general’s office to postpone Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s testimony in the corruption trial against him due to the fall of the rule of Syria’s Bashar Assad. “In light of the strategic change in our region following the fall of the Assad regime, the uncertainty and the many challenges facing the Prime Minister and the State of Israel, I call on the judges and the Attorney General’s Office to reconsider postponing the Prime Minister’s appearance in court by three months,” he said. “In light of the dramatic changes, insisting on holding the hearing during this period would be wrong and irrelevant.” Netanyahu is scheduled to take the stand on Tuesday.
