Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told a Jerusalem court he is not guilty of one charge of bribery and three charges of fraud and breach of trust.
The appearance was Netanyahu's second in court since his corruption trial formally began in May.
Netanyahu, wearing a black mask, entered the court shortly after 9 a.m. and stood to confirm that the pleas of not guilty, submitted earlier in written form by his lawyers, represented his reply to the charges.
"I confirm the written answer submitted in my name," the Prime Minister told the judges.
Netanyahu, who is the first sitting Israeli Prime Minister to appear in court as a defendant, is charged in three separate cases.
In the most serious case, Netanyahu is accused of advancing regulatory benefits worth more than 1 billion shekels (more than $300 million) in favor of a telecommunications company controlled by a millionaire friend, prosecutors say. In exchange, Netanyahu received favorable coverage from a news site, even influencing wording and story selection, prosecutors allege.
Monday's court session is also discussing the trial's timetable, in particular when full evidentiary proceedings should take place.
Israelis vote in a general election in six weeks' time, and in a possible indication of the Prime Minister's desire to delay the prosecution opening and calling of witnesses, one of his most loyal party allies has called on judges to postpone further hearings until after the vote on March 23.

There is an increasing amount of real evidence supporting 2020 Election irregularities. One of the most recent are allegations of the FBI harassing WhistleBlowers who came forward with personal accounts of election fraud.

This has not gone unnoticed by the United States Supreme Court. After declining to entertain election-related lawsuits 2 months ago, the U.S. Supreme Court has now decided to consider several of them.

@Isabel Doe it’s already shown that democrats used secretive methods in order to make states change their voting laws as well as install dems as poll watchers and vote counters. They also held private meetings with Zuckerberg and other big tech giants in order to make sure they had democrats’ backs. These things are not conspiracy theories, they are documented and explicitly shown in Mainstream, left leaning media. The thing is, the media is so blinded that they reported it as if it was a good thing. In order to learn this information you have to be willing to read a 6,500 word article. Let me know if you are interested in a link.
@Isabel Doe don,t for get ol Tucker Carlson These folks are only opinion host. they do no research . in fact if they had to fact check there own work, they would have nothing to say.

Why worrying about your financial status
Hurry up and contact jollie for your trading signals
When’s the last time a politician plead guilty to being corrupt?
@Challenger 50 I call you people because you follow a racist, not because of any color you might be. I don’t care if you have biracial children or not, you only have words, If i was racist I would be saying different words, and
“you people” is NOT a racist term
Trump lost get over it ๐๐คฃ๐

Sounds like “railroading”.
DRAIN THE YESHIVA!
How disingenious, out of touch, or both – do you have to be – to instantly force down people’s throats, that any and all resistance they show towards literally being driven out of their own homes and communities by force – absolutely cannot be anything else but a political statement.
Trump isn’t there to make Israel great again ๐๐๐๐

Doesn’t that meme ever get old for you? It has absolutely nothing to do with the story here. Unlike Trump, Biden doesn’t make everything about himself.
That shade at the end though. I felt that one.
He has.much in common with dtrump.
Who has I told you vipers to flee from the Wrath to come
COMPLETELY forget he existed
Seriously this year and last year’s been too tough
How many times has this guy
Been investigated or charged
Never been convicted
But still where there’s smoke
There’s fire
Eventually he’ll get his
