Will Netanyahu's trial be postponed?

Prime Minister Binyamin’s Netanyahu's trial, which was scheduled to begin on Tuesday, may be delayed after Justice Minister Amir Ohana announced overnight Saturday a state of emergency in the courts for a period of 24 hours, in the wake of the new guidelines for the fight against the coronavirus.

During the emergency situation, the courts will only hold urgent hearings. The regulations ordered by Ohana will only be in effect for 24 hours, but are expected to continue for some time afterwards, and as such the first hearing in Netanyahu's case is expected to be postponed to an unknown date.
