Netanyahu in court to testify in corruption cases
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has gone to court to testify in his corruption trial.
Netanyahu appeared on Tuesday at the District Court in Tel Aviv to testify for the first time in his long-standing corruption trials.
The Israeli PM faces multiple charges including fraud, breach of trust, accepting bribes, and exchanging favors with wealthy associates.
Netanyahu's trial revolves around three separate scandals involving powerful media moguls and rich connections.
The Israeli leader, who is also wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor for his other crimes, denies any wrongdoing.
His testimony, in a long-running trial that began in 2020, should last several weeks and is expected to be covered extensively by news media similar to the criminal trials of US president-elect Donald Trump.
During the trial, his lawyer laid out the defense’s case by attempting to raise doubts about the indictments.
Also, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has condemned Israel's genocide in Gaza, blasting the Tel Aviv regime for bombing civilians in Gaza and using starvation as a “weapon of war.”
Legal experts say Israeli attacks on the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) also constitute a war crime by the Tel Aviv leaders.
They argue that Western support for the Tel Aviv regime—through financial and military aid, as well as silence and inaction in response to its aggressive expansionism—has emboldened defiant Israeli leaders to act with impunity.
