Netanyahu Asks for Another Delay in Corruption Trial
Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has requested another delay in his corruption trial, citing "security incidents."
The request was made in a letter to the Jerusalem District Court, and it comes just days before the trial was set to resume.
According to the letter, Netanyahu has been the target of "a series of security incidents" in recent weeks, which have made it difficult for him to prepare for his trial.
The letter does not provide any details about the alleged security incidents, but it says that they have "raised serious concerns" for Netanyahu and his family.
The prosecution has not yet responded to Netanyahu's request for a delay, but it is expected to oppose it.
Netanyahu is facing charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in connection with three separate cases.
The first case involves allegations that Netanyahu accepted bribes from a wealthy businessman in exchange for helping him with his business interests.
The second case involves allegations that Netanyahu used his position as prime minister to promote a media mogul's interests in exchange for favorable coverage.
The third case involves allegations that Netanyahu accepted bribes from a foreign government in exchange for advancing its interests.
Netanyahu has denied all of the charges against him, and he has said that he is the victim of a political witch hunt.
The trial is scheduled to resume on Monday, October 17, and it is expected to last for several months.
