A court rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to cut how often he must testify in his corruption trial on Thursday. Starting Tuesday, when his testimony is set to begin, Netanyahu will have to testify three times a week for six hours (from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.). The judges at the Jerusalem District Court said they had not found “a compelling reason to deviate from previous, similar rulings about the same matter.”
