Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has again asked to postpone his testimony in his corruption trial scheduled for December 2, citing recent arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court.

On Thursday, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for both Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant on charges of committing crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza.

The private Israeli Channel (13) said on Sunday: Netanyahu "submitted today to the Central Court in Jerusalem another request to postpone his testimony for 15 days."

He claimed that "the defense team is not yet ready for testimony that is scheduled to begin next week."
