One of the public appearances of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in recent days.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will have to appear three times a week in the case against him for corruption since November because "the trial has to go ahead ", as the court has decided today.

An Israeli judicial spokesman has reported that, according to the decision taken today by the court judges, from 2 November the trial will resume in sessions from Sunday to Wednesday, three of which will take a statement to the prime minister on charges of bribery, fraud and abuse of trust.

Several sessions canceled

Last July, the court suspended some of Netanyahu's appearances because of his lawyer's allegations of health problems and the Israeli bombingof Syria, the clashes between Bedouins and Druze in the Syrian town of Al Sueida.

At the end of June, the judges also suspended the statement, citing thepresident's reasons for diplomacy and national security , and US President Donald Trump 's request on social media.

Trump described the 2020 lawsuit against Netanyahu as a "witch hunt" and called for his "immediate suspension" or pardon.

Netanyahu is the first head of government to be tried in Israel's history, accused of bribery, fraud, and abuse of trust.

The central theme of all three lawsuits is how Netanyahu pushed relations for personal and political gain with bigots who influenced important media.
