Netanyahu appears in court for first time in corruption trial
Briefly

Netanyahu, now the first sitting Israeli prime minister to stand trial as a criminal defendant, claims the charges against him are politically motivated rather than based on fact. His arguments suggest that the cases are part of a broader political campaign to remove him from power, as he insists he is innocent and was merely fulfilling his duties for the nation.
The prime minister painted this trial as a destructive political maneuver, stating it has 'ruined the lives of dozens of people' who have become embroiled in the legal proceedings. His rhetoric reflects a deep-rooted opposition to the notion that he can be judged by political rivals, framing the entire situation as a witch hunt.
