Netanyahu Testifies in Corruption Trial During Wartime Disruptions

The Israeli Prime Minister continues his historic court testimony while managing national security challenges from an ongoing conflict.

  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is testifying for the third time in his criminal trial, where he faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust across three cases.
  • This marks the first time a sitting Israeli prime minister has taken the stand as a criminal defendant, following years of investigations and legal proceedings.
  • The trial is complicated by the ongoing multi-front war, with rocket alerts briefly interrupting Monday's session in a secure underground courtroom in Tel Aviv.
  • Tuesday's session was canceled due to 'extraordinary circumstances,' reportedly linked to Netanyahu's national security responsibilities during the conflict.
  • Prosecutors expressed concerns over Netanyahu's ability to balance his courtroom obligations with his duties as prime minister, as he frequently received security-related updates during testimony.
