“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has taken the stand for the first time in his long-running corruption trial, rejecting what he described as ‘absurd’ allegations against him. Appearing at a crowded courtroom in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, the embattled Israeli leader said the charges levelled against him were an ‘an ocean of absurdity.’ Israel’s longest-serving prime minister faces charges of bribery, fraud and breach of public trust in three separate cases. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing.” [editor’s note: No comments on “absurdity” published from the thousands of Palestinians abducted and held without charge or trial, of course, but I can guess what they might think – TLK] (12/10/24)
