Netanyahu's testimony canceled after food poisoning day before hearings

The Jerusalem District Court has canceled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled testimony in his ongoing corruption trial, citing his current bout of food poisoning. The hearings, originally set for Monday and Tuesday, will not be rescheduled this week and have been deferred until after the court's summer recess, which ends on September 5. Netanyahu's lawyer, Amit Hadad, submitted a request to delay this week's hearings after the prime minister fell ill Sunday night. While the State Attorney's Office agreed to postpone the sessions and proposed alternative dates for Wednesday and Thursday, the court cited scheduling conflicts and opted to cancel the hearings altogether. This marks yet another delay in Netanyahu's testimony, which began in December 2024. Previous postponements have been attributed to medical issues, the war in Gaza, operations against Iran, international trips, and his responsibilities as head of government. During the summer recess, 'Israeli' courts operate with limited activity, meaning Netanyahu will not return to the witness stand until at least September.

Gaza death toll surges to 58,895 amid ongoing Israeli genocide

Ammon News - At least 80 Palestinians were killed and 304 others were injured in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli genocide in the region, according to medical sources. Local health authorities confirmed that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught since October 2023 has risen to 58,895 fatalities, with an additional 140,980 people sustaining injuries. The majority of the victims are women and children. According to the same sources, the death toll since Israel's resumption of the genocide on March 18 after a two-month truce has also climbed to 8,066, in addition to 28,939 others injured. Emergency services are still unable to reach many casualties and dead bodies trapped under the rubble or scattered on roads across the war-torn enclave, as Israeli occupation forces continue to target ambulance and civil defense crews, according to the health authorities. Israel's genocidal onslaught continues undeterred despite calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
