According to a Reuters report, as the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, there have been no reports of Iranian missile strikes in Israel since 3:00 AM on the 8th. The state of emergency, which had led to the closure of schools and workplaces, was lifted on the evening of the 8th.
However, Israel subsequently launched widespread attacks on Hezbollah forces backed by Iran in Lebanon, threatening the US-Iran ceasefire.
An Israeli court issued a statement saying: "With the lifting of the state of emergency and the resumption of the judicial system, court hearings will resume." The statement added that hearings will take place between the 12th and 15th.
Benjamin Netanyahu is the first Israeli prime minister to be indicted while in office, facing charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. Netanyahu's corruption trial began in 2020 but has been delayed multiple times due to his busy official schedule.
Netanyahu is bogged down by corruption lawsuits, and the cross-border attack by Hamas on Israel in October 2023 severely damaged his reputation. Israel is scheduled to hold a general election in October this year, and the right-wing coalition government led by Netanyahu is at risk of losing the election. (Translated by Liu Shuqin) 1150409
