Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial is nearing, and his desperate attempts to delay giving evidence are harming the country and society. The lack of urgency in reaching a verdict is due to Netanyahu and his lawyers delaying proceedings. Despite his claims of lack of preparation time and security concerns, the court has ruled that he must start giving evidence on Dec. 2. It is important for Netanyahu to suspend himself from office for the duration of the trial, or for the attorney general to declare him incapacitated. Netanyahu's actions and motives raise suspicions that he may escalate the war fronts to escape justice and cling to power.
