Israeli Court Rejects Netanyahu’s Request to Cancel Corruption Trial Session
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, judges in the Israeli judicial system have denied Benjamin Netanyahu‘s request to cancel his trial session scheduled for tomorrow.
The military radio of the Zionist regime reported that the session will proceed in a condensed format.
Netanyahu faces four legal cases involving allegations of corruption, bribery, and breach of public trust, charges that could result in imprisonment if proven. He has denied all allegations.
In Case 1000, he is accused of receiving gifts worth 700,000 shekels from Arnon Milchan, an Israeli Hollywood producer and wealthy businessman. The Israeli prosecutor alleges that Netanyahu, in exchange for luxury gifts including alcohol and cigars, abused his power as prime minister to advance Milchan’s personal business interests.
Case 2000 involves allegations of collusion between Netanyahu and Arnon Moses, the owner of the prominent newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, to ensure positive coverage in exchange for pressuring the cabinet and prime minister to undermine Israel Hayom, a rival newspaper critical of Netanyahu.
Case 3000 pertains to the purchase of three submarines from Germany, a deal that sparked controversy in 2016. Knesset members and Zionist politicians criticized Netanyahu, alleging he accepted bribes from a German company to purchase submarines for the Israeli army, despite their suitability.
Case 4000 relates to an alleged quid pro quo arrangement between the Israeli prime minister and the owner of the telecommunications company Bezeq, which owns the news site Walla. Israeli prosecutors allege that Netanyahu is accused of extensive corruption in this case, providing millions of dollars in financial benefits to Shaul Elovitch, the owner, to ensure favorable media coverage from Walla for the prime minister and his family.
