Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu submitted another request to postpone his testimony in the Thousands cases trial by two weeks and presented a sealed envelope with details of his schedule. Netanyahu reiterated his claim that in light of regional developments, there is a "national need" for him to devote all his time to addressing "top priority" security and diplomatic issues. Following criticism from the court, which argued there was no detailed basis to justify the delay, the prime minister submitted a partial breakdown of his schedule for the coming week.
