00:00United States, US President, Donald Trump has accused members of the Israel House of Assembly
00:06known in Hebrew word as Knesset of apparent politically witch-hunting the Israel Prime
00:11Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu with corruption case President Trump had described as nothing
00:17but political witch-hunt, saying, the Knesset prosecutors should let Benjamin Netanyahu go,
00:23that, he's a war hero who have worked with the US to eliminate Iran nuclear threats,
00:28and currently he has a big job to do with negotiations of peace deals with Iran and Hamas,
00:34stressing in a questioned manner how possible is it for the Israel Prime Minister to sit in court
00:39all day long, this, the Prime Minister lawyer had filed a two-week delay of the case,
00:45citing national security demands following the 12-day Israel-Iran war, but, the court sitting
00:52in Jerusalem rejected the application on Friday and Benjamin Netanyahu who has spent 20 years as
00:59Israel Prime Minister was expected to be in court on Monday for cross-examination in the corruption
01:05case that started with police investigation in 2016 and the court trial commenced in 2020,
01:12but, a report from some foreign media quoting the Prime Minister political party,
01:17Likid a few hours ago indicated that the court on Sunday has postponed the case and cancelled it
01:23from holding this week, similarly, some members of the Knesset had accused the Prime Minister of
01:29trying to use the regional war with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran to secure an end to the corruption
01:34charges. The foreign media reported that the Israeli court on Sunday postponed Prime Minister
01:40Benjamin Netanyahu's testimony in his corruption trial after he allegedly requested a delay with the
01:46support of U.S. President Donald Trump, in a ruling published by the Premier's party.
01:52Following the explanations given, we partially accept the request and cancel at this stage Mr.
01:58Netanyahu's hearings scheduled, for this week, the Jerusalem District Court said in its ruling,
02:03published online by the Likid party. It would be recalled that the Israel police began investigating
02:09Netanyahu in December 2016 and subsequently recommended indictments against him. The court is
02:16presided over by a panel of three Jerusalem District Court judges, Rivka Friedman Feldman,
02:22Moshe Bar-Am, and Odid Sheyam. Local media had reported that Friedman Feldman previously served on
02:29the judicial panel that convicted former Israel Prime Minister, Hehud Olmert of bribery, which the
02:35former Prime Minister was sentenced to six-year imprisonment. On 21 November 2019, Netanyahu was officially
02:43indicted for breach of trust, accepting bribes, and fraud, leading him to legally relinquish his
02:49ministry portfolios other than Prime Minister. Netanyahu's trial in the Jerusalem District Court
02:56began on 24 May 2020, with witness testimony starting on 5 April 2021. The prosecution listed
03:04333 witnesses. Netanyahu is now set to take the stand on Monday for cross-examination in a long-running
03:12corruption case. According to Al Jazeera, members of Israel's Knesset have accused Netanyahu of using
03:19the regional conflicts to secure an end to his corruption trial. Netanyahu is conditioning the future
03:26of Israel and our children on his trial, Nama Lazimi, Knesset member from the Democrats' party,
03:32told the Times of Israel newspaper. Kareem al-Hara, Knesset member from Yashatid party,
03:39warned that Netanyahu is, acting against the Israeli public interest, by linking his legal faith with
03:45captive negotiations and regional normalization agreements. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on
03:51Sunday while responding to President Trump's statement the U.S. President posted on his
03:56Truth social media platform on Saturday and replicated a screenshot of the message on President
04:02Trump's personal handle on ex-social media said, Thank you again, at Real Donald Trump.
04:08Together, we will make the Middle East great again, President Donald Trump in the post had said,
04:14It is terrible what they are doing in Israel to Bibi Netanyahu. He is a war hero, and a prime minister
04:21who did a fabulous job working with the United States to bring great success in getting rid of the
04:26dangerous nuclear threat in Iran. Importantly, he is right now in the process of negotiating a deal
04:33with Hamas, which will include getting the hostages back. How is it possible that the prime minister of
04:39Israel can be forced to sit in a courtroom all day long, over nothing, cigars, bugs, bunny doll, etc.?
04:47It is a political witch hunt, very similar to the witch hunt that I was forced to endure.
04:53This travesty of, justice, will interfere with both Iran and Hamas negotiations.
04:59In other words, it is insanity doing what the out-of-control prosecutors are doing to Bibi Netanyahu.
05:06The United States of America spends billions of dollar a year, far more than on any other nation,
05:12protecting and supporting Israel. We are not going to stand for this. We just had a great victory with
05:19Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu at the helm, and this greatly tarnishes our victory. Let Bibi go,
05:26he's got a big job to do. Al Jazeera also reported that, the political turmoil in Israel has deepened,
05:33with renewed calls for Netanyahu's resignation. In a televised interview with Channel 12,
05:38former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said it was time for Netanyahu to step aside.
05:44He has been in power for 20 years. That's too much, said Bennett. He bears heavy responsibility
05:51for the divisions in Israeli society. Bennett, who has taken a break from politics,
05:57is reportedly eyeing a return, with polls suggesting he could challenge Netanyahu once more.
