Apr 2021. Netanyahu Corruption

April 2021. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in court today at his corruption trial to hear prosecutors make their allegations against him. Prosecutors say Israel's longest-serving Prime Minister used his political influence as 'currency' to buy favours from media executives and wealthy businessmen. The evidentiary phase of the trial was beginning as Israel's political parties were meeting the country's president to weigh in on whether Netanyahu should form the next government after a close election or step down to focus on his legal woes.
