Ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s testimony in his ongoing corruption trial, Justice Minister Yariv Levin releases a statement describing the ongoing legal proceedings against the premier, including now, “when so much is placed on his shoulders,” as an “injustice.”

“Together with many, many citizens of Israel, I seek to strengthen you, Mr. Prime Minister. I know that today, too, you will stand tall and present the simple truth as it is,” Levin states.
