All the Key Characters in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Trial – Explainer

Yonah Jeremy Bob

Jerusalem Post, Dec. 10, 2024

“Hadas Kline, Milchin’s aide, who accused Netanyahu of illegalities in Case 1000 and is considered the case’s most important witness.”

Starting Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will begin testifying in his own public corruption trial proceedings– which could take several weeks.

The defense is set to present its case approximately four-and-a-half years after the prosecution began theirs and seven years after the investigations commenced.

The return of Netanyahu’s public corruption trial, after a recess since the summer to give the prime minister and his lawyers more time to prepare, includes Cases 1000 (Illegal Gifts), 2000 (attempted Media Bribery – Yediot Aharonot-Israel Hayom), and 4000 (Media Bribery Walla-Bezeq.)

Here is what you need to know about the key characters in the trial:

First witness

The first witness to the trial (in April 2021) was former Walla CEO Ilan Yeshua, who helped break open Case 4000, the Walla-Bezeq Affair, for which Netanyahu stands accused of bribery. Yeshua broke open the cases by revealing his text messages with Netanyahu aides and Elovitch.SOURCE
