For the first time in Israel’s history, its prime minister is on trial. On December 10, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the stand for the first time in his long-running corruption trial. Charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust, Netanyahu will testify three times a week, the court said, despite the Gaza war and possible new threats posed by wider turmoil in the Middle East, including in neighboring Syria. He denies the charges and has pleaded not guilty. #CNN #News
