Netanyahu trial enters five-day-a-week schedule as defense case accelerates
Netanyahu’s corruption trial moved to a five-day weekly schedule as judges push through remaining testimony ahead of the presiding judge’s planned retirement
Assessment
The speedup signals judges believe the defense phase is close to wrapping. With the presiding judge's retirement looming, the court is compressing a trial already notorious for delays. Each accelerated session reduces room for procedural maneuvers. Watch whether the prosecution uses the tighter rhythm to pressure remaining witnesses or whether the defense tries to stretch cross-examination despite the schedule squeeze.
