Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s testimony at a court hearing scheduled for Monday was canceled, the Courts Administration spokesperson announced on Monday morning.

The court’s decision was made following a request submitted in the pre-dawn hours of Monday morning by Netanyahu’s defense attorney Amit Hadad.

Hadad informed the court that “the Prime Minister Netanyahu was required to attend a Security Cabinet meeting on Sunday night and another security asessment that continued until the early hours of the morning, and today he is required to continue with a security-political schedule, the circumstances of which are detailed in a sealed envelope that is being simultaneously transferred to the Honorable Court and to the representative of the prosecution.”
