Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu mocks bribery case trial; accuses prosecutors of pursuing a ludicrous 'political trial'

Tel Aviv, Dec 5 (UNI) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a sharply worded public attack against Tel Aviv's state prosecutors on Thursday on the bribery case trial against him. In an English-language video posted, he slammed the prosecutors, and alleged that the corruption cases against him were farcical, a "political trial" designed to remove him from power.
The message, posted days after he formally sought a presidential pardon, was framed as a response to questions he said he had received from international audiences about the nature of the charges.
Netanyahu is standing trial in three cases: bribery in Case 4000 and fraud and breach of trust in Cases 1000 and 2000, though he has consistently denied all charges.
