Protesters demand justice in Netanyahu corruption trial, supporters condemn 'false allegations'

Protesters demanded justice outside the Tel Aviv courthouse where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the witness stand on Tuesday (December 10) for the first time in his long-running corruption trial. Netanyahu, 75, is Israel's first sitting prime minister to be charged with a crime. He is testifying at the same time Israel is engaged in a war in Gaza and facing possible new threats posed by regional turmoil, including in Syria. Prosecutors accuse Netanyahu of granting regulatory favours worth around 1.8 billion shekels (about $500 million) to Bezeq Telecom Israel (BEZQ.TA) in return for positive coverage of himself and his wife Sara on a news website controlled by the company's former chairman. He is also accused of negotiating a deal with the owner of Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper for better coverage in return for legislation to slow the growth of a rival paper.
