JAKARTA - Israeli Prime Minister (PM) Benjamin Netanyahu is entangled in a number of corruption cases. However, the corruption trial involving the Jewish right-wing extremist politician has been repeatedly postponed.
Like on Monday, April 27, Netanyahu's corruption trial was suddenly canceled about 90 minutes from the scheduled time.
His lawyer, Amit Hadad, said the hearing was canceled today or postponed for another day for security reasons.
According to Hadad, details about the request for the cancellation of the trial will be conveyed to the court and the prosecutor in private.
The hearing is scheduled for Monday, April 27 after a long break due to the US-Israeli war against Iran.
Netanyahu faces bribery, fraud, and breach of trust charges as a public official in three cases known as Cases 1000, 2000, and 4000. Prosecutors filed indictments in those cases in November 2019.
Citing The Jerusalem Post, the following are the 3 corruption cases that ensnared Netanyahu:
Case 1000
The 'Case 1000' corruption case in which Netanyahu is accused of receiving gratification in the form of expensive gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, including cigars and champagne, from a wealthy businessman and Hollywood producer, Arnon Milchan, in exchange for political favors.
In this case, Netanyahu is accused of fraud and breach of trust.
Case 2000
Meanwhile, in 'Case 2000', the case surrounding the recording of Netanyahu and Arnon "Noni" Mozes, editor-in-chief of Israel's largest daily newspaper, Yediot Aharonot (ynetnewscom).
Prosecutors had previously said the two recorded discussions about arrangements for coverage that heavily benefited Netanyahu. In return for Mozes, Netanyahu allegedly supported efforts to weaken a rival newspaper, Israel Hayom.
In this case, Netanyahu is accused of fraud and breach of trust. Meanwhile, Mozes is accused of bribery.
Case 4000
In 'Case 4000', also known as the Bezeq-Walla case, Netanyahu is accused of facilitating a policy that benefited businessman Shaul Elovitch. At the time, Elovitch was the main shareholder of Bezeq, Israel's largest telecommunications company.
The intense effort to forge a false alliance was made in return for favorable coverage of Netanyahu on the Walla news site, which is owned by Elovitch.
'Case 4000' ensnared Netanyahu with charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust as a public official.
In addition to the corruption trial, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant in November 2024 against Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip.
