Exclusive: Israel's president Reuven Rivlin has told Australian MPs he will take up the extradition case of alleged child abuser Malka Leifer with his country's chief justice if no progress is made during court hearings this week | Gallo_Ways

"I was pleased that President Rivlin advised me that if hearings scheduled this week do not see this matter progress towards Malka Leifer being extradited to Australia, he will personally meet with the Chief Justice of Israel to discuss how this matter can be expedited," Mr Burns said.

Since extradition proceedings were first brought by Australia six years ago, there have been more than 60 court hearings and the case still has not moved to the formal extradition phase. Ms Leifer fled Australia in 2008 after facing serious accusations that would result in 74 charges of sexual assault being filed against her by Victoria Police.In the earlier meeting between Mr Morrison and Mr Rivlin, the two leaders talked about their nations' responses to the coronavirus outbreak. To date, Israel has only recorded two cases of the virus but there are fears about an outbreak in nearby Iran.
