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, which began in 2020, centers on accusations that Netanyahu exchanged regulatory favors for positive press coverage in dealings with media moguls.
So far, approximately 140 witnesses, including former prime ministers, security chiefs, and media personalities, have testified in the trial. Netanyahu and his wife have been interviewed multiple times by the police regarding the charges, but Tuesday marks the first time the Prime Minister himself will testify.
