Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cross-examination in his ongoing corruption trial was canceled on May 19, 2026, due to security and diplomatic reasons, according to court documents. The prosecution agreed to the request, and the judges are expected to approve the cancellation.
The trial, which began in 2020, involves charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three separate cases. Netanyahu has denied all allegations, claiming they are part of a political witch hunt.
The cancellation comes amid heightened security concerns and ongoing diplomatic negotiations. No new date for the cross-examination has been set.
