Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu testified in his corruption trial on December 10, addressing allegations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust linked to three major cases (Case 1000, Case 2000, and Case 4000). Netanyahu denied the accusations, portraying the trial as a political campaign against him. He argued that the charges lacked evidence and accused opponents of using the courts to remove him from power.
Key issues in the trial include allegations that Netanyahu improperly accepted gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars (Case 1000), sought favorable media coverage in exchange for regulatory benefits (Case 4000), and attempted to influence media narratives (Case 2000). His defense focuses on distancing himself from direct knowledge or involvement in questionable activities orchestrated by close associates. The testimony is seen as pivotal in determining his fate, with possible outcomes ranging from conviction to exoneration.
