Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial resumed yesterday on the same day President Reuven Rivlin began coalition talks to form a new government. Netanyahu is up on 3 charges of corruption and the trial’s first witness, the editor of Israeli news agency Walla, has already testified that he was ordered to make negative coverage of Netanyahu disappear. The trial risks Netanyahu’s position in government as the Israeli Parliament seeks a coalition following inconclusive elections 2 weeks ago.
