Netanyahu, Mossad chief David Barnea, and Intelligence Directorate head Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder presented new classified information that judges said marked a “real change” from earlier intelligence previously submitted to the court.
Based on this updated material, the judges agreed to cancel hearings set for Monday and Wednesday. A decision on next week’s schedule will be made later. Netanyahu’s testimony is being held in Tel Aviv under strict security.
