During the ongoing re-cross-examination in his trial, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the presiding judges: "I did not resign because I demand justice." The remark, reported by Amit Segal (N12) on Monday morning, comes as the defense continues to present its case. Netanyahu has repeatedly argued that the charges against him are a politically motivated attempt to force him from office. The court has been pressing for a more efficient pace, as the trial has extended over several years.
