Netanyahu testifies for second day in corruption cases
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the Tel Aviv District Court on Wednesday afternoon to testify for the second day in a row in the corruption cases he is accused of, including bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
According to the court judges' decision, Netanyahu's hearings should begin at 10:00 a.m. and continue until 4:00 p.m., but today's session began at 2:30 p.m. due to the reception of the President of Paraguay in the Knesset.
Yesterday, Netanyahu appeared in court for the first time on corruption charges.
Israeli media reported that Netanyahu's testimony before the court is considered a precedent in the occupying state, as it is the first time that a prime minister has been tried while in office.
Netanyahu's testimony will be in the case known as "Case 4000," which concerns the Israeli telecommunications company Bezeq receiving extensive financial facilities in exchange for Netanyahu and his wife receiving positive media coverage on the Walla News website, owned by Bezeq owner Shaul Elovitch.
