The Tikva Forum, a hostage advocacy group made up of some of the hostage families more aligned with Netanyahu and the Right who have until now opposed a deal for the hostages that might interfere with the goal of total victory have now also sent a letter to the judiciary asking to postpone Netanyahu's testimony. Interestingly, Tikva requested Netanyahu's testimony be delayed indefinitely until after a hostage deal is reached and the hostages come home. According to the Tikva Forum every minute Netanyahu spends testifying in court in his personal corruption cases is time wasted from working to bring the hostages home and to winning the war. 

I ca understand the dedication to saying dont bring the hostages home at the expense of winning the war, dont bring them home at the expense of releasing terrorists from jail, and the like, even if I dont agree. They have been saying these arguments since October 7 2023, and I understand the logic in those positions, and they have the right to push those positions. I don't understand this current argument. Anyways they have been saying not to negotiate for the release of the hostages until after the war has been won with a complete and total victory, so if his testimony is supposed to postponed until after the hostages come home, when do they want him to testify - they dont want him to be working on a hostage deal now anyway!? Furthermore, such an open postponement gives Netanyahu every incentive to not come to a hostage deal at all but only to continuously work on achieving one - just never to achieve it so he never has to testify.

Let's not forget that Netanyahu should have been forced to resign from office when he was indicted. He was only allowed to remain in power and run again because he convinced the court that running the State would not interfere with his personal trial and his personal trial would not interfere with running the State. He convinced the judges and they let him remain Prime Minister on that condition. If he cant do both, as all his supporters are saying, he should resign.

And let's not forget, Netanyahu was busy and preoccupied with a speech at the United Nations when the targeted attack on Nasrallah was underway, so I think Netanyahu is talented enough to run the country and do big things while testifying
