Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu testified in his criminal trial for the first time on Tuesday, eight years after the investigations into him were first opened. He faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust across three different corruption cases. Netanyahu's testimony follows years of investigations, deliberations, legal proceedings, and delays. He became the first sitting prime minister in Israeli history to take the witness stand as a defendant.
