TL;DR Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial has resumed after a month-long break. Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust, and accepting bribes in three separate scandals involving powerful media moguls and wealthy associates. The trial has featured more than 40 prosecution witnesses, and the defense will likely try to poke holes in the way the police carried out its investigation. If convicted, Netanyahu would be forced to step down after over 15 years in the position. There is a possibility the sides will seek a plea deal, an option that has emerged in the past and again more recently, according to media reports.
