Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 11:58

TL;DR

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cross-examination in his corruption trial has concluded. Likud spokesman Guy Levy said in an interview that over 13 months and 91 prosecution sessions, the prime minister answered all questions — and that no evidence of any offense emerged, while alleging misconduct by prosecutors and police against witnesses.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The conclusion of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cross-examination marks the end of a major phase in his months-long corruption trial, which has been ongoing since 2020. As The Zioneer reported on June 16, proceedings ended early on security-diplomatic grounds. In an interview with journalist Dana Varon, Likud spokesman Guy Levy, who was part of Forum 315 accompanying the court hearings, said 91 days of testimony over 13 months saw Netanyahu face every question. Levy stated that 'not a shred of evidence' was found of wrongdoing, while alleging a chain of misconduct by the prosecution and police — including extortionate threats — against witnesses and their families. The allegations against the prosecutors, attributed to Levy, are reported as an accusation per standard practice. Levy's account remains one party's perspective; the prosecution has not yet responded publicly.
