Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is continuing his testimony in court today as part of an ongoing trial involving serious allegations. At the heart of the case are claims of improper conduct tied to media coverage and regulatory decision.
Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu is in his third day of testimony in his criminal trial at the Tel Aviv District Court. His defense attorney continues questioning about Netanyahu’s alleged role in influencing political coverage on the Walla news website, a key element of Case 4000.
The case accuses Netanyahu of accepting bribes in the form of favorable media coverage from Walla owner Shaul Elovitch, in exchange for advancing regulatory decisions that benefited Elovitch by $520 million.
Netanyahu denies the allegations. He asserts that requests made by Zeev Rubinstein—his wife Sara’s friend—to Walla CEO Ilan Yeshua were either Rubinstein’s own actions or attempts to please Sara. He insists he could have communicated with Elovitch directly or via his staff, calling Walla “a marginal website that was hostile toward me anyway.”
Netanyahu also claims he was unaware of his wife’s dealings with Rubinstein.
Israeli Prime Minister will return to the stand on Tuesday and Wednesday.
