The Tuesday session of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial was canceled due to “extraordinary circumstances,” judges said on Monday.
Last week Netanyahu promised defiantly to knock down corruption allegations against him in his long-running trial, where he became the first sitting Israeli leader to take the stand as a criminal defendant.
The Times of Israel, citing Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman, said that the cancellation came after Netanyahu’s team had made “closed-door arguments” in favor of delaying the session, at which Netanyahu was expected to testify for the third time in the ongoing corruption trial.
Another page out of Trumps book, tell everyone he will totally testify and clear it all up!!! with the knowledge his team will do everything possible to ensure he’s never out on the stand
Who knew being corrupt could make the corruption trial go away?
Facing accountability? Commit more crimes!
Tired: knocking down corruption allegations by testifying and proving your innocence
Wired: knocking down corruption allegations by cancelling the trial
Suprising no one
So, like Republicans, cool.
Probably thinking of some false flag attack to keep out of prison.
He’s already in the middle of a genocide to delay his corruption proceedings, and invaded Syria as he was due to give testimony.
Should hang this MTF without trail.
Umm, that’s a hate crime
Explain.
Because the commentor used MTF when I assume they meant MF - those mean very different things
Trials are an indicator of a growing society. Though considering we just watched a man get convicted of more than 30 felonies and whoops neverminded out the window, I am questioning that society at this point.
“Hate crime” implies something else. What you’re describing is the commutation of justice. Vigilantism could also describe it. Hate may be involved, but that’s not the most significant detail of the act.
All that being said, what sort of trial did Netanyahu give to the 10s of thousands dead in Palestine? That, to me, sounds more like a hate crime.
In other news: irony.
Not sure what the irony is here.
