Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly mocked his ongoing corruption trial, calling it the 'Bugs Bunny trial' in a video where he held up a cartoon puppet to ridicule prosecutors. The video comes after Netanyahu requested a presidential pardon, claiming the charges are politically motivated and dividing the nation. He faces allegations of negotiating favorable media coverage and accepting luxury gifts in exchange for political favors, though he maintains his innocence and describes the proceedings as a farce. The trial has intensified political tensions in Israel, with rival protest groups gathering outside the courthouse as Netanyahu continues to defend himself both in court and in the public arena.
