Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial has been postponed to September due to a court recess amid his ongoing health issues, including recent food poisoning.
Netanyahu, who has faced multiple delays in his trial due to health concerns, will miss scheduled hearings this week after being diagnosed with food poisoning. The trial, which began in 2020, involves charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust over allegations of influence peddling and accepting gifts. Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing, calling the case a politically motivated campaign against him.
Officials stated that the 75-year-old prime minister fell ill overnight and was examined at home by his doctor. He was diagnosed with intestinal inflammation from eating ‘spoiled food’ and is receiving intravenous fluids for dehydration. His condition was described as good.
