Netanyahu Testifies in Corruption Trial Amid Regional Turmoil

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has begun his testimony in a long-awaited corruption trial amid ongoing Middle East conflicts, including a war in Gaza and military movements in Syria. Netanyahu faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, which he denies, claiming the trial is a politically motivated "witch hunt." His testimony, delayed multiple times, coincides with his controversial push for judicial reforms and efforts to weaken democratic institutions in Israel, raising concerns about political and legal stability in the region.
