The Knesset Committee discussed the impeachment of suspended President Moshe Katsav Wednesday, during a meeting attended by Attorney General Menachem Mazuz.

Mazuz announced at the meeting that Katsav's hearing would take place on May 2 of this year, following a request by the suspended president's counsel.

Mazuz also told the committee that Katsav's suspension would have to be prolonged.

"The hearing process itself is short, but the decision process is not necessarily short and depends on the testimonies we will hear," Mazuz said, "There will be a definite need to prolong the suspension period, unless a decision to remove the president from office is made before then."
