Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to continue his testimony in his long-running corruption trial at a Tel Aviv court. This upcoming appearance marks another chapter in what has become a protracted legal battle for Netanyahu, who has faced multiple hearings in recent weeks as part of the ongoing trial.

The case involves serious charges, including bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, and has been a focal point of political and public debate in Israel. Throughout the trial, Netanyahu has faced significant scrutiny, but he has also taken steps to delay or postpone proceedings. In several instances, he has filed formal requests to push back hearings or alter the schedule, citing various reasons.

Moreover, there have been occasions when the prime minister left the courtroom mid-hearing, further contributing to the controversy surrounding the trial. Despite these challenges, Netanyahu’s legal team continues to vigorously defend him. Reuters is providing ongoing coverage of the trial, offering updates on the latest developments and reactions from both the legal and political spheres.
