Prosecutors request on-record talks with Netanyahu's judges after leak and biased accusations.

Prosecutors in the corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have requested that all interactions between the bench and legal parties be recorded, following reports that judges had said a conviction on a bribery charge in one of the cases would prove difficult. The prosecutors also asked to expedite the trial by adding hearing days next month. Netanyahu faces bribery, fraud, and breach of trust charges in connection with the relations between the Bezeq telecom firm and the Communication Ministry under his leadership. Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing in the cases against him and claims that the charges were fabricated in a witch hunt led by the police and state prosecution.
