Israeli PM Netanyahu denies corruption trial delay request, calls security chief's letter "full of lies" in 2025 statement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday (April 4, 2025) said a letter published by the internal security chief alleging the premier had asked him to help delay his corruption trial was “full of lies”.
“This statement is full of lies,” a statement from Mr. Netanyahu’s office said, adding that “the discussion that took place... was about the location of the testimony, not its existence”.
“In November 2024, the Prime Minister repeatedly asked that I provide a security assessment that would determine that the security circumstances do not allow for his continuous testimony in his criminal trial, which could extend gaps between court appearances,” Ronen Bar said in a letter to the Supreme Court to challenge the government decision to dismiss him.
The letter was published by the attorney general.
