Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial, launched in 2019 for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, has dragged on for over five years, bogged down by delays that make you wonder. COVID-19 pushed the trial’s start from March to May 2020, and some mutter it was a handy excuse for Bibi to tighten his grip on power. Security concerns from the Gaza war cut hearings from three to two days a week in December 2023, then up to four and back to three by January 2024. His testimony got bumped from December 2024 to January 2025 after minor surgery, and June 2025 hearings were axed for “classified” reasons tied to a 12-day Israel-Iran clash, even after the court rejected a similar delay days earlier. Smells fishy, doesn’t it? And now, just yesterday, a deadly shooting at a Jerusalem bus stop killed six and injured over 20, with Bibi rushing to the scene and vowing to hunt down accomplices—another "national crisis" that could conveniently pile on more postponements for his long-awaited testimony set for this month.
Health issues keep popping up at just the right time, food poisoning in 2025 delayed his testimony to September, syncing perfectly with the court’s summer recess. Toss in prostate and hernia surgeries, a 2023 pacemaker, and other hospital visits, and it’s tough not to suspect these are strategic moves. Wars with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran threats have fueled more postponements, stretching the trial by months. The latest Jerusalem attack, amid escalating West Bank raids and Gaza ops, fits the pattern—Hamas praised it without claiming it, but for Bibi, it's prime time to play the security card again. While some see a leader swamped by crises, others smell a plot—Bibi dodging justice with a web of convenient crises, maybe with powerful friends pulling strings to keep the trial frozen.

as always, ill the times before they started their wargames and then there was no time because of war times. Now this game again.
i really look forward into a world without all of those corrupted fuckers.
Well, isn’t that convenient.
Funny that.
Wow how convenient for Bibi.
**Submission Statement**
Netanyahu’s corruption trial, dragging since 2019, faces another “timely” disruption due to the Jerusalem shooting that killed six just before this weeks testimony. After years of delays, like COVID, wars, surgeries and suspiciously timed illnesses like food poisoning continue to conveniently keep Bibi out of court.
