Israel's Netanyahu, unbeaten in elections, is going on trial
Read full article: Israel's Netanyahu, unbeaten in elections, is going on trialJERUSALEM After entering the record books last year as Israels longest-serving prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu will once again make history when he becomes the countrys first sitting leader to go on trial. Both former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former President Moshe Katsav went to prison in the 2010s Olmert on corruption charges and Katsav for rape. After three bruising elections over the past year, Netanyahu was sworn into office this week for a fourth consecutive term. Under the deal, the alternate prime minister, like the premier, will not be required to resign due to criminal charges. That could ensure that Netanyahu remains in office throughout his trial and even into a possible appeals process.
