A scheduled court hearing in the corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been postponed due to what officials described as “security-diplomatic reasons,” according to an Israeli court decision reported on Sunday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared before the Tel Aviv District Court on Wednesday as his corruption trial resumed following a one-month suspension, local media reported.

On the sixth day of his testimony in his corruption trial, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continued to downplay his relationship with Shaul Elovitch, the former controlling shareholder of Bezeq. Netanyahu is accused of striking a bribery deal with Elovitch, allegedly offering regulatory benefits to Bezeq in exchange for favorable coverage on the Walla news site, which Elovitch owned.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to the stand at the Tel Aviv District Court for the fourth day of testimony in his ongoing corruption trial.

Benjamin Netanyahu has become the first sitting Israeli prime minister to appear in court as a criminal defendant, more than four years after his trial on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust began.
