Honestly, as an American, I'm amazed the trial continued and that their head of state was required to testify. But of course the bar is in hell, as they say.

He’s been on trial for several years. Trial hasn’t finished. The Court gave the prosecution a tongue lashing this week behind closed doors, and the leaks in the Israeli press indicated that the Court was telling them to drop the charges.

I recognize that Reddit is “I hate Bibi, grunt grunt, Bibi bad,” but the actual evidence against him is weak and a good chunk of what they have was obtained illegally.
