Netanyahu arrives for first hearing in corruption trial following Trump's request for a pardon
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives in court in Tel Aviv for a new hearing in his long-running trial on corruption charges, the first after US President Donald Trump called for his pardon during a speech at the Knesset. Netanyahu faces charges of bribery, fraud and breach of public trust in three separate cases and he is the first sitting prime minister of Israel to face a criminal trial. "This has been one of the greatest wartime presidents, and cigars and champagne, who the hell cares about that?" said Trump on Monday. IMAGES
