Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces his first day of cross-examination in his criminal trial on Tuesday, eight years after the investigations into him were first opened. He is charged with bribery, fraud, and breach of trust across three different corruption cases. Netanyahu's testimony follows years of investigations, deliberations, legal proceedings, and delays. He is the first sitting prime minister in Israeli history to have taken the witness stand as a defendant.
