Judge Rivka Friedman Feldman, head of the panel of judges in the "Eleven Cases," said at the start of the hearing in the prime minister's trial today (Wednesday) that she is considering adding another day a week to the trial hearings - because "we need to move forward more quickly.".

Prime Minister Netanyahu firmly refused the possibility. He told the judge: "Madam, there is no chance in the world.".

Attorney Amit Hadad, the prime minister's attorney, added: "There is no such thing as four days a week, where we don't create expectations.".

The judge replied: "Advocate Haddad, this is not a decision made casually, but after thought.".

She added that she "knows there will be protests," and explained that the extra day of hearings does not concern Netanyahu's testimony, and that the fact that he testifies twice a week will not change.

This is the last day of testimony for Netanyahu's main investigation. His cross-examination by the prosecution will begin next week.
