Overview

• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in Tel Aviv District Court for the fifth day of testimony in his ongoing corruption trial.
• The trial centers on three cases—Case 4000, Case 2000, and Case 1000—each involving alleged exchanges of political or regulatory favors for personal or political gain.
• Case 4000, the primary focus of recent testimony, accuses Netanyahu of granting regulatory benefits to Bezeq in exchange for favorable news coverage on its Walla platform.
• Netanyahu denied understanding the regulatory benefits he approved for Bezeq, claiming a lack of awareness of their implications.
• Critics suggest Netanyahu's defense strategy involves prolonging proceedings to fatigue judges and delay verdicts.
