   A corruption trial against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu   
   resumed on Monday after a two-month pause due to the continuing Gaza war.   
   He did not attend the hearing.   
      
   Netanyahu has been charged with fraud, bribery and breach of trust in three   
   cases filed in 2019. He can be sentenced to up to 10 years in jail and/or a   
   fine if convicted in a bribery case.

   Here is what there is to know:   
   When did the corruption trial start?   
      
   The first session of Netanyahu’s corruption trial was on May 24, 2020. The   
   trial has been prolonged because it was initially paused due to COVID-19   
   and more recently, because of Israel’s war on Gaza following the October 7   
   attack by Hamas.   
   What are the charges against Netanyahu?   
      
   Then-Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announced the Israeli prime   
   minister’s indictment on November 21, 2019. The investigations were listed   
      
       Case 1000 alleges that Netanyahu, 74, and his wife, Sara, 65, have   
   received lavish presents from prominent Israeli Hollywood producer Arnon   
   Milchan and Australian billionaire businessman and Israeli citizen James   
   Packer in return for political favours. This case charges the Israeli PM   
   with fraud and breach of trust. Fraud and breach of trust carry a prison   
   sentence of up to three years while bribery charges carry a sentence of up   
   to 10 years in jail and/or a fine. Milchan testified that he provided gifts   
   to Netanyahu in June 2020.   
       Case 2000 accuses Netanyahu of negotiating with Israel’s leading daily,   
   Yedioth Ahronoth, for favourable coverage in exchange for legislation that   
   would slow the growth of a rival newspaper. This case also charges him with   
   fraud and breach of trust.   
       Case 4000 indicts Netanyahu for granting regulatory favours to Israel’s   
   leading telecommunications company, Bezeq Telecom Israel, in return for   
   positive coverage of him and his wife on a news website controlled by   
   Bezeq’s former chairman, Besides fraud and breach of trust, Netanyahu has   
   been charged with bribery in this case.   
      
   Netanyahu, who is the first sitting Israeli prime minister to face court as   
   a defendant, has denied any charges and claimed that the indictments were   
   part of a politically charged witch-hunt against him by his rivals to   
   remove him from office.   
      
      
   He can only be removed from office if convicted, which can also lead to him   
   being sentenced to punishment. Netanyahu and the state could each choose to   
   appeal the ruling. Doing so would take the case to the country’s Supreme   
   Court, further prolonging a resolution.   
      
   Netanyahu, who faced months of protests against his controversial judicial   
   overhaul plan, has been accused of using the legislation to circumvent his   
   legal troubles.   
      
   The high-profile trial is expected to last several more months. An appeal   
   process, if necessary, could take years.   
   What are the latest updates on his trial?   
      
   The Israeli leader is exempt from attending the court hearings, but he may   
   be asked to testify within a few months, according to Yedioth Ahronoth   
   newspaper.

   Minister David Amsalem of Netanyahu’s Likud party called the resumption of   
   proceedings during the war “a disgrace”.   
      
   “War? Captives? … No, no. The most important thing now is to renew   
   Netanyahu’s trial,” Amsalem posted on X on Sunday.   
      
   Netanyahu remains highly unpopular and many Israelis blame him for security   
   lapses leading to the October 7 Hamas attack – the deadliest since Israel’s   
   founding in 1948.   
      
   Netanyahu, the longest-serving Israeli prime minister – brought far-right   
   Israeli politicians into government and boosted illegal settlements on   
   Palestinian lands – pushing aside the political process for a Palestinian   
   state as envisaged in the Oslo Accords of the 1990s.   
      
   Long before the current war erupted, the killings of Palestinians by   
   Israeli forces and settler violence had skyrocketed.
