Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, faced the court as a defendant in a corruption trial, marking a historic moment for the nation. He rejected allegations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, framing the proceedings as a politically motivated attack against him during a time of war. Supporters rallied outside the courthouse, while critics voiced concerns about his leadership. As the trial unfolds, Netanyahu’s testimony is expected to dominate his schedule amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Syria.
