The corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will resume on Sunday, after several weeks of suspension due to the Iran-Iraq War. The announcement was made Thursday by Israeli judicial authorities.
This interruption followed the state of emergency declared in Israel after the outbreak of the conflict in late February. During this period, civilian activities were largely disrupted, including the closure of schools and many workplaces.
The state of emergency was lifted Wednesday evening, following the ceasefire between Israel and Iran. The recent absence of Iranian missile launches on Israeli territory has allowed authorities to gradually return to normal institutional functioning.
The trial, which began several years ago, concerns charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust against Benjamin Netanyahu. The case is one of the most sensitive legal cases in the country's political history.
Meanwhile, the security situation remains fragile. Despite the truce with Iran, tensions persist, particularly with Israeli military operations in Lebanon, which cast doubt on regional stability.
The resumption of hearings thus comes in a delicate political and security context, where the Prime Minister must simultaneously face judicial challenges and a complex geopolitical situation.
This return to court could have significant repercussions on the Israeli political scene, as Benjamin Netanyahu continues to lead the country amidst a period of regional tensions.
