Netanyahu to Testify in Bribery Trial After Court Rejects Delay Bid
Dec 9, 2024, 06:40 PM
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to take the witness stand on Tuesday for the first time in his ongoing corruption trial, marking a pivotal moment in the drawn-out proceedings that have lasted several years. The trial includes charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, with Netanyahu potentially facing up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Despite attempts by his lawyers and a group of 12 Israeli ministers who requested a postponement due to security concerns, the Tel Aviv District Court rejected the appeals, insisting that Netanyahu adhere to the scheduled dates. Netanyahu, who will testify over three days, addressed the nation ahead of his testimony, calling the trial a 'witch hunt' and stating he has been waiting eight years to present the truth. His testimony comes amid heightened security tensions, including events in Syria, as he continues to manage national affairs. Netanyahu will become the first sitting Israeli leader to testify as a defendant, highlighting the unprecedented nature of the case.
