The state of emergency, which closed schools and workplaces, was lifted on Wednesday evening. A few hours earlier, a ceasefire had been established in the Middle East.
“When the state of emergency is lifted and the justice system returns to work, trials will resume,” said a spokesman for the Israeli courts, quoted by Reuters.
As the agency reminds, Netanyahu is the first serving prime minister of Israel accused of a crime. The politician denies the allegations of corruption, fraud and breach of trust brought against him in 2019 after years of investigation. His trial, which began in 2020 and could result in a prison sentence, has been repeatedly postponed because of his duties.
Will Binyamin Netanyahu be convicted?
It is possible to end the process with a settlement, although for now the right-wing prime minister and his entourage reject this solution. However, considering that 90 percent cases in Israel end in a conviction, it cannot be ruled out that the parties will reach an agreement, the aim of which may be to remove the corruption charge from the indictment.
