The cross-examination of Prime Minister Netanyahu resumed Wednesday morning in the Tel Aviv District Court, according to Israeli media reports.
The cross-examination of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resumed this morning at the Tel Aviv District Court, according to court reporters covering Case 4000. The proceeding is part of the renewed cross-examination phase of the trial, which had been underway since late 2025 following appeals and procedural delays. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara's office is leading the prosecution in the case, which centers on allegations that Netanyahu granted regulatory benefits to Bezeq telecom in exchange for favorable coverage from the Walla news site. The defense, led by attorneys Amit Hadad and Boaz Ben Zur, has challenged the evidentiary basis of the charges. Today's session marks the continuation of what is expected to be a lengthy cross-examination.
