Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared for the 25th time in Tel Aviv District Court on Monday to answer corruption charges against him.

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on its website that Netanyahu appeared before the court for the 25th time since December 10, 2024.

The court convenes twice a week to hear Netanyahu's responses to the charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust against him.

The court decided last week to conclude hearings on Netanyahu's responses on May 7.

According to the court's decision, Netanyahu will also appear in court tomorrow, Tuesday, and on May 6 and 7.

Last Tuesday, Yedioth Ahronoth reported: "The judges in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial have authorized his lawyer, Amit Hadad, to hold four additional sessions in the main testimony phase, which will conclude on May 7."

She added, "After the testimony phase ends, Netanyahu's cross-examination will begin," without providing further details.

Netanyahu faces charges of corruption, bribery, and breach of trust in what are known as Cases 1000, 2000, and 4000. Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit filed the indictment in late November 2019.

"Case 1000" concerns allegations that Netanyahu and members of his family received expensive gifts from wealthy businessmen in exchange for various benefits and assistance.

In "Case 2000," he is accused of negotiating with Arnon Mozes, publisher of the privately owned Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, to obtain positive media coverage.

The more serious "Case 4000" concerns the alleged facilitation of favors to the former owner of the Israeli Walla news website, Shaul Elovitch, who was also an executive at the Bezeq telecommunications company, in exchange for positive media coverage.

Netanyahu's trial in these cases began in 2020 and is still ongoing. He denies the charges, claiming they are a "political campaign aimed at ousting him."
