Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will begin his witness testimony Tuesday for his ongoing trial on corruption and fraud charges.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to take the witness stand for the first time on Tuesday in his ongoing case over alleged fraud and corruption in Israel.
The trial comes as Netanyahu’s government manages several conflicts with Iran and its proxy terrorist groups, as well as the fall of former Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime this weekend.
The corruption trial kicked off in 2020, with prosecutors accusing Netanyahu of exchanging regulatory favors for positive press coverage in under-the-table dealings with media moguls.
So far, some 140 witnesses have taken the stand in the trial, though that falls short of the 300 witnesses initially expected.
