Your Daily Spiel for July 9

Sara Netanyahu's trial is postponed, Canada’s first female Hasidic politician could be heading to Ottawa and Gal Gadot visits a children’s hospital in Virginia.

The trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife Sara, which was initially scheduled to begin later this month, was postponed on Monday for three months, following a request from her lawyer. Sara Netanyahu was indicted last month on charges of fraud and breach of trust.

Israeli actress Gal Gadot took a break from filming the sequel to the 2017 movie Wonder Woman, to visit the Inova Children’s Hospital in Annandale, Va., in full costume on Friday.

Israeli security services documented only six terrorist attacks in Jerusalem in June – the lowest figure on record for any month in the last three years.

Mindy Pollak, who became Canada’s first female Hasidic politician when she was elected as a councillor in the Montreal borough of Outremont, may become this country’s first Orthodox MP, with reports indicating that she is being courted by at least one federal party.
