Israeli Court Sets Date For Netanyahu's Corruption Trial

Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial is set to begin on March 17th, shortly after Israel's national elections. This marks the third election in less than a year. The trial's timing is challenging for Netanyahu, who is trying to assure voters that his legal issues won't hinder his role as Prime Minister. His opponent, Benny Gantz, is expected to leverage the trial to argue against Netanyahu's capability to lead. Netanyahu faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, which he denies.
