Netanyahu corruption trial will re-start as Israel enters Golan Heights
PM Netanyahu is set to take the witness stand over alleged fraud and corruption case. The trial comes as he juggles several conflicts with Lebanon, Iran and the fall of Syria, which he recently just claimed Golan Heights as Israeli territory ‘forever’.
Prosecutors in 2020 accused Netanyahu of “exchanging regulatory favors for positive press coverage”, engaging in ‘pay to play’ with Western media moguls. 140 witnesses have taken the stand, including Bibi’s wife.
Critics have accused Netanyahu of stretching the trial to avoid persecution, even escalating Israel's conflict with Hamas to cause delays.
