Israel's Netanyahu forced to take the stand in court over corruption allegations
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives at the district court for his long-running trial for alleged corruption, in Tel Aviv, Israel, December 10, 2024
ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised today to fight the multiple allegations of corruption against him as he began testifying in his long-running trial.
He became the first sitting Israeli leader to take the stand as a criminal defendant.
The testimony is another low point for Israel’s longest-serving leader, who also faces an international arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Israel’s war in Gaza.
