Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request to delay testifying at his corruption trial amid wartime pressures has led critics to claim he's attempting to prolong the proceedings and evade a potential jail term.
Netanyahu's legal team argues that the prime minister is too focused on running the country during wartime to adequately prepare his defense, an assertion met with skepticism by opposition leaders.
Critics like opposition leader Yair Golan contend that Netanyahu's motivations are purely self-serving, stating, 'The prime minister's only interest is to not to go to jail; there is no other real consideration.'
Ongoing investigations into allegations involving leaks of sensitive intelligence materials by Netanyahu's aides further complicate his position, as he faces scrutiny on multiple fronts during a critical time for Israel.
