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.
