Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit informed the legal team for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu they must pick a date for the hearing before May 10.
The hearing is meant to take place before July 10.
Before the elections the legal team requested not to collect the data regarding the case. They cited their concern that the data might leak and influence the election process.
After the elections, Israeli media reported that Netanyahu's lawyers refused to collect the files as they were not yet paid by the prime minister.
The lawyers were informed that should they not opt to hold a hearing, the attorney-general will make a decision based on the evidence he has.
