Abstract
Benjamin Netanyahu’s trial for corruption was supposed to begin on 17 March. He had been charged on three separate counts: the first indictment, for fraud and breach of trust, has to do with the alleged receipt of ‘gifts’ – cigars, champagne – with a total value of $200,000 from the Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan and the Australian billionaire James Packer. The second, also for fraud and breach of trust, relates to a deal he allegedly made with Arnon Mozes, a newspaper publisher, for favourable coverage in Israel’s largest daily. [from the review]
