Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s criminal trial is set to resume on Sunday after weeks in which Israel’s court system operated under emergency restrictions because of the war with Iran.
The pause was not unique to Netanyahu’s case. Following the outbreak of the war on February 28, the Justice Ministry placed the courts under a “special emergency” format that sharply curtailed regular proceedings and left only urgent matters moving. That framework was extended several times, with the latest official notice stating that the emergency regime remained in place through Thursday.
In the last hearings before the break, prosecutors were pressing him on issues tied to the Bezeq-Yes merger, his relationship with Elovitch, and the alleged “directive meeting” with former Communications Ministry director-general Shlomo Filber, which Netanyahu flatly denied ever took place.
So procedurally, Sunday’s hearing does not mark a new phase in the case so much as a restart after a war-imposed interruption. But it does bring one of Israel’s most consequential criminal proceedings back into public view at a moment when the trial has already dragged on for years, been repeatedly disrupted by war and politics, and remains deeply entangled with the broader question of whether a sitting prime minister can continue to govern while defending himself in court.

There’s a reason America’s founders implemented TERM LIMITS.
So what’s your point? Give us your analysis of what’s really going on.
Never forgive their attack on the USS Liberty.
Is that trial an Israeli version of the left-wing lawfare Trump trials?
Netanyahu is clinging to power and deeply corrupt. Many Israelis continue to hold October 7th against HIS failures...and it’s not like he had to resign midway — he should have just gracefully stepped back and let someone else from his own party step in...ages ago.
Certainly not...I was informed here this morning that making such comparisons between the US and Israel is...’non-factual and prejudiced’.
Am I doing that right Wuli?
It is
LOL
What a pant load.
The hostage families from October 7 can’t stand Netanyahu, for starters.
Freed hostage Ilana Gritzewsky claimed Netanyahu had “lied” to the hostage families and accused him of blocking a deal that could have brought the hostages home.
for starters.
Freed hostage Ilana Gritzewsky is singular
“families” is plural
Prime example of your brand of foul spin of half truths and no truths..

“There’s a reason America’s founders implemented TERM LIMITS.”

You’re mistaken. There were no term limits on anyone until the limitation to two terms in office for a president.

As of March 2026, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s approval ratings have rebounded significantly, with 74% of Israelis approving of his war management following the conflict with Iran,
I don’t think it’s a trial for the attack on the USS Liberty.
I think it’s a trial on the genocide in Gaza , West Bank and Southern Lebanon.
No. Bribery and fraud.
He clearly knows what he is doing politically! And maybe it'll boost him in trials too. Unfortunately what works for Bibi in Israel, isn't what's going to work for Trump here at home.
May Justice be served!
If the Palestinians could exterminate the Jews, they would have done it yesterday.
I think Bibi just got tired of their agreeing to ceasefires, only to see the Arabs rearming and then continuing. The 2007 war revealed the extent of the Pales’ development of war infrastructure, their growing sophistication, & international backing. It was a moral defeat for Israel & a PR victory for the Palestinians as I recall.
October 7 of 23, they massacred about 1,200 Israelis & took 250 or so hostages. Bibi was in charge & possibly responsible, but that event started a war that he decided could only end when Hamas was crushed & the terrorism ended.
The starvation, the squalid conditions, the suffering would end the minute the Pales decide to stop, but for them every dead Palestinian is a public relations triumph.
