Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced intense questioning in Tel Aviv District Court as prosecutors sought to demonstrate his deep interest in media coverage, particularly in relation to the Walla news site. The prosecution alleges that Netanyahu provided regulatory benefits to a major telecommunications shareholder in exchange for favorable coverage on Walla, while Netanyahu denied any undue focus on personal media portrayal, insisting his concerns were about broader political narratives. Testimony from witnesses, including Arnon Milchan, described the Netanyahu family's complaints about negative press and alleged efforts to influence media content, which the prime minister disputed in court. Netanyahu also expressed frustration with the demanding court schedule, citing the difficulty of testifying three times a week as his corruption trial continues.
