Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in court on Tuesday to give testimony in his corruption trial, marking a significant moment as he becomes the first sitting prime minister in Israel to face criminal charges. Netanyahu, who has been in power since 2009, is accused of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
Despite the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Netanyahu expressed his commitment to fulfilling his duties both in the courtroom and as the leader of the country. The trial, which has been relocated to an underground courtroom in Tel Aviv for security reasons, will require Netanyahu to testify three times a week.
