01 · THE DISPATCH

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's testimony in his ongoing corruption trial began Tuesday morning at 09:47 Jerusalem. Defense attorneys commenced their cross-examination but declined to specify when they will conclude their questioning, according to N12. The trial continues after a break; the state prosecution is expected to begin its own examination following the defense's completion. As The Zioneer previously reported (June 9), the earlier schedule envisioned the testimony concluding by Tuesday afternoon, but the trial is now proceeding without a fixed end time for the defense's phase.
