The Jerusalem District Court has canceled a scheduled hearing for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's testimony in his criminal trial due to his upcoming meeting with US President Donald Trump. The court refused to cancel a second hearing planned for Wednesday and ordered the defense to put another witness on the stand on Monday. Netanyahu's defense attorney filed a request stating that the purpose of the meeting with Trump would be to discuss efforts to secure a hostage release agreement, the tariffs imposed on Israeli goods, and the current combat operations in Gaza. The State Attorney's Office agreed to cancel Monday's hearing but demanded an extra hearing on Thursday to make up for the cancellation.
