Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially takes the stand inside the Tel Aviv District Court for historic testimony in his ongoing corruption trial.

Netanyahu’s defense attorneys will question the prime minister first, during which time he will be able to expound at length in defense of his actions, in a process which will likely last two to three days.

The majority of the prime minister’s time at the witness stand will then be taken up by the cross examination of the prosecution.
