The Tuesday and Wednesday hearings for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial testimony were canceled due to one of the three judges presiding over the cases falling ill, the Jerusalem District Court ruled on Tuesday morning.
A few hours before the Tuesday hearing was set to begin, the testimony was canceled, soon followed by the Wednesday session, because Judge Moshe Bar-Am fell ill with the flu.
The cancellations meant that Monday was the only hearing in the trial this week. The status of the coming week's hearings is unknown.
Netanyahu's testimony has been fraught with delays due to the demands of his wartime and political leadership position, as well as his own health issues.
A December prostate surgery and subsequent infection led to a month-long recess. Netanyahu has requested reduced weekly hearings, as he says he has not yet fully recovered.
