Veteran politician Tzipi Livni arrives at a Jerusalem court to testify in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial.
Livni is testifying in Case 2000, in which Netanyahu is suspected of an illicit quid pro quo deal with Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper publisher Arnon Mozes that would have seen the prime minister weaken a rival daily, the Sheldon Adelson-backed freebie Israel Hayom, in return for more favorable coverage from Yedioth.
Livni, who was justice minister at the time, was reportedly briefed on planned legislation to curb the circulation of Israel Hayom.
Livni, who retired from politics in 2019, is not a suspect.
Netanyahu is charged with fraud, and breach of trust in three cases, along with bribery in one of them. He denies any wrongdoing.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
