Israeli judiciary cancels Netanyahu's graft proceeding assembly session

An Israeli judiciary agreed to cancel Wednesday’s scheduled assembly session for Premier Benjamin Netanyahu’s sworn statement in his graft proceeding, Israeli press documented.

The judiciary's ruling followed a request from Netanyahu to cancel Wednesday's assembly session, saying he had been engaged in "protection and external matters", according to Times of Israel .

The Israeli premier faces allegations of graft, illicit payment, and trust violation in three cases , for which indictments were filed back in 2019.

Netanyahu's legal troubles , which began with investigations around a decade ago, have polarised Israelis and shaken national politics through five rounds of elections ​between 2019, the year of his indictment, and 2022. The ​next vote is due by the end of October 2026.

Besides the graft allegations, Netanyahu has been wanted by the Global Criminal Judiciary since 2024 for conflict crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel killed more than 72,000 individuals in the enclave over a two-year period starting in October 2023.
