On February 8, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu appeared in court for trial, but he denied allegations of fraud and bribery. According to Yahoo News, he refuted these allegations as fabricated and absurd. When he was taken to the court by the convoy, protesters gathered outside the court and demanded his resignation.
At a brief hearing, he was asked to give a formal response to the allegations against him. Netanyahu only confirmed in his speech that he had submitted a written statement to the court strongly denying all allegations. After about 20 minutes, he left the hearing.
On Monday, a group of protesters against Netanyahu gathered outside the court in East Jerusalem, shouting slogans and holding up banners. One of the banners read "Minister of Crime". The protest can also be heard in the court sound.

Netanyahu urged his supporters not to gather in court because they may contract new coronary pneumonia. At the hearing, Netanyahu’s lawyer Boaz bin Zul accused Israel’s Attorney General Avijay Mandelbrit of improper handling of the case.
Ben Zul argued that the investigation of Prime Minister Netanyahu was conducted without the necessary authorization.
This complex trial may last for several years and has been postponed many times due to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic. If he is found guilty, he will face up to ten years in prison and a huge fine.

Netanyahu strongly denies all charges against him and described the trial as a politically motivated "political persecution." The charges against Netanyahu are divided into three groups, namely cases No. 4000, 2000 and 1000.
No. 4000 is the most serious allegation, accusing him of bribery, fraud and treachery. He was accused of providing regulatory benefits to a telecommunications company in exchange for positive media coverage.

2000 also claimed that Netanyahu sought a special arrangement for active reporting in Israeli newspapers. Case No. 1000 accused Netanyahu and his family of receiving gifts from wealthy friends, including luxury cigars, champagne and jewelry worth about 700,000 shekels (about 1.38 million yuan) in exchange for help.
Netanyahu will run for re-election in March this year. He hopes that since December last year, he has successfully vaccinated more than one-third of the population against the new crown pneumonia, which will give him a decisive victory in the election.

Although his allies have called for the next phase of the trial to be postponed, he may need to attend trial hearings several times a week.
