In a significant moment amidst the ongoing Gaza conflict, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in a Tel Aviv court for the first time to testify in his long-standing corruption trial. Facing charges of fraud and bribery since January 2020, Netanyahu asserts his innocence, claiming the trial is politically motivated. Meanwhile, protests erupted outside the courthouse with family members of Israeli hostages expressing dissatisfaction with the government’s efforts to secure their release. Additionally, a suspect was arrested in connection with the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, and Google unveiled a groundbreaking quantum computing chip.
