Good News Out of Israel

Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial has restarted.

It had been suspended, along with most court proceedings following the October 7 attacks, but that order has now expired:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trial on corruption charges, which was suspended along with all other non-urgent cases after October 7, resumes today in the Jerusalem District Court.

An emergency order that Justice Minister Yariv Levin put in place for the courts when the war with Hamas began expired last week, and most courts have been ordered to resume normal operations.

Netanyahu is currently exempted from attending the hearings but may be called to testify in a few months.

Netanyahu faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in one case, and charges of fraud and breach of trust in two other cases. He denies wrongdoing.

Bibi is a corrupt son of a bitch, and they have him on the facts.  Much of the dysfunction in Israel over the past decade can be attributed to machinations by the (hopefully soon to be former) PM dedicated to preserving his political career and his non-felon statue.

I so want to see his ass in jail.
