“It was actually complete editorial control of this site even on the specifics of which posts to make, or which pictures to make.”
A new page in Israeli history opens Sunday as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu becomes the first sitting premier to face criminal charges, accused of a string of corruption allegations he denies.
He was later tried and convicted of taking bribes and sentenced to 27 months in prison, but was paroled after less than a year and a half. Perhaps most serious of all is the claim that Netanyahu offered media mogul Shaul Elovitch regulatory changes worth millions of dollars to his telecom giant Bezeq in exchange for favourable reporting on the Walla! news website.
After months of suspense and repeated police questioning of Netanyahu, Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in January filed charges against the premier.But Netanyahu retained the Likud leadership and after three inconclusive general elections managed to hammer out a power-sharing deal with his chief rival Benny Gantz.
They argued that his attendance, to hear the formal reading of the charges against him and confirm that he has read and understands them, was merely technical.
