Netanyahu's trial may influence elections
Today, the trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resumes, which began approximately seven years ago. It is expected to include around 20 sessions until the upcoming elections in late October. Netanyahu is accused of corruption, and the trial potentially aims to attempt to cancel the indictment by replacing the government's legal advisor or reaching a deal to reduce the punishment if he loses the election. In July 2023, the judges advised dropping the bribery charge, which is the most significant part of the indictment, but the reason for this was not explained. Netanyahu's legal team continues to try to summon supporting witnesses for his stance. It is anticipated that Netanyahu will use the trial sessions as an electoral propaganda platform, amid tensions between his legal team and the prosecution, with increasing pressure to conclude the trial before the head of the judiciary steps down.
