Tel Aviv (AFP) – Pro and anti-Netanyahu protesters rally outside a court in Tel Aviv as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu testifies in his corruption case for the first time. Netanyahu, who has repeatedly sought to delay his court appearance, dismissed the accusations as he spoke in court. He is the first sitting prime minister of Israel to face a criminal trial and faces charges of bribery, fraud and breach of public trust in three separate cases. The trial is scheduled to last for several months, with an appeals process that could further prolong matters.
