Netanyahu Faces Scrutiny as Corruption Trial Unfolds
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's testimony in his corruption trial was contradicted by records showing that the Likud party spent NIS 283,300 on advertisements on the Walla news site during the 2015 elections, despite his claims to the contrary. This revelation challenges Netanyahu's assertion that Walla was insignificant and that no campaign funds were allocated to it. The spending records, revealed by Ifat Media Research, indicate that Likud invested significantly in digital advertising, raising questions about Netanyahu's relationship with media outlets and his influence on media coverage.
