Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared for the 30th time in Tel Aviv District Court on Monday to answer corruption charges against him.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority said: "The prime minister did not request the cancellation of today's session, but initially requested a significant reduction in the discussion to a few hours."

Netanyahu's interrogation sessions began last January.

Netanyahu faces charges of corruption, bribery, and breach of trust in what are known as Cases 1000, 2000, and 4000. Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit filed the indictment in late November 2019.

Netanyahu's trial in these cases began in 2020 and is still ongoing. He denies the charges, claiming they are a "political campaign aimed at ousting him."
