Trump attacks Netanyahu trial: Will the Prime Minister receive a general pardon?
Arabian Sea - Exclusive
In the midst of the fallout from the joint Israeli-US military strike on Iran, US President Donald Trump sparked a wave of political and legal controversy within Israel after publicly calling for the dismissal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial or granting him an immediate pardon, describing him as a "war hero" who deserves honor, not trial. In a related context, the Israeli Prime Minister submitted a formal request to the Central Court in Jerusalem to postpone his trial sessions, which are held three times a week, for two weeks, citing his preoccupation with "sensitive political and security" files, primarily the Iranian file and the situation in the Gaza Strip. However, the court rejected his request twice, considering the justifications "insufficient" to postpone the sessions, and insisted on continuing the judicial procedures without any change in the pre-determined timeline.
