For the sixth time in a month: Netanyahu appears in court on corruption charges against him
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared before the Tel Aviv District Court on Tuesday to answer corruption charges against him, for the sixth time this December.
According to Channel 14, Netanyahu continues to refute the articles in the lawsuit filed against him in the 4000 case, after he expressed his anger in the previous session that these accusations are false, and it is expected that the defense will move to the following articles, out of 315 articles in the indictment.
Netanyahu's trial resumed in December, with his third appearance on December 16, his fourth on December 18, and his fifth on December 23.
Netanyahu is expected to remain in court until his testimony on the charges against him is completed.
Netanyahu faces charges of corruption, bribery and breach of trust in three corruption cases known as Cases 1000, 2000 and 4000, the most serious of which were filed by former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in late November 2019.
"Case 1000" relates to Netanyahu and members of his family receiving valuable gifts from wealthy businessmen, in exchange for providing facilities and assistance to these figures in various fields.
In "Case 2000," he is accused of negotiating with Arnon Moses, publisher of the private Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, to obtain positive media coverage.
Netanyahu's trial in these cases began in 2020 and is still ongoing. He denies it, claiming that it is a "political campaign aimed at overthrowing him."
