The cases, known as “1000,” “2000”, and “4000,” centre on allegations that Netanyahu received valuable gifts from wealthy businessmen in exchange for favours, sought favourable media coverage from a newspaper publisher and granted regulatory benefits to a telecommunications executive in return for positive coverage on a news website.
In addition to the domestic corruption trial, Netanyahu has been wanted since 2024 by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, where the Israeli army has killed more than 72,000 people and injured over 172,000 others in a brutal offensive since October 2023.
