TL;DR Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial has resumed despite the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Netanyahu, who is accused of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, denies the allegations, claiming they are politically motivated. The trial, which is expected to last several more months, involves three cases, including allegations of exchanging regulatory favors for positive media coverage and receiving gifts in exchange for financial or personal favors. Netanyahu is Israel's first sitting prime minister to stand trial, and his lawyers argue that he had a right to accept gifts from close friends.
