Netanyahu’s Corruption Trial Resumes Amid War on Gaza
News - Middle East: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s long-running trial on a host of corruption charges resumes following a two-month halt due to the regime’s war on Gaza.
Netanyahu faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in one case. In two other cases, he faces similar charges of fraud and breach of trust.
Prosecutors say between 2007 and 2016 Netanyahu allegedly received gifts valued at $195,000 in exchange for financial or personal favors.
Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing.
A court in occupied al-Quds was to start hearing the case on Monday.
Bribery charges carry a sentence of up to 10 years in jail and/or a fine. Fraud and breach of trust carry a prison sentence of up to three years.
