A court in Jerusalem has agreed to cancel testimony by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his ongoing corruption trial this week, marking the latest delay in a case that has stretched on for years amid regional instability. According to local media, the Jerusalem District Court accepted a request from Netanyahu's legal team, who argued that "security and diplomatic" considerations prevented the Israeli prime minister from appearing in court as scheduled, according to local media reports. Instead of Netanyahu's appearance, another witness is expected to testify, and at least one of the planned hearings has been canceled altogether.
