Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cross-examination in his corruption trial ended Tuesday afternoon after more than a year, when the state prosecutor declared she had no further questions. The development, reported by Yedioth Ahronoth, marks a major procedural milestone in the trial that has been ongoing since 2020.
The cross-examination of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his corruption trial concluded Tuesday at approximately 14:00 Jerusalem time, after the state prosecutor told the court she had no further questions. The session ended early, as The Zioneer reported at 14:27 that proceedings were anticipated to wrap up citing security and diplomatic grounds.
The cross-examination phase had lasted more than a year, covering a broad range of allegations in the three cases against Netanyahu — Cases 1000, 2000, and 4000 — involving charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. Netanyahu has consistently denied wrongdoing.
The trial now moves to the evidentiary and summation stages. No date has been set for the next hearing. The defense may still call additional witnesses, though the conclusion of the cross-examination is a major step toward a final verdict, which is not expected for at least several more months.
