Monday is set to be the fifth day of testimony for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The hearing is beginning and ending an hour earlier at the request of Netanyahu.
Netanyahu faces three cases against him, case 4000, case 2000, and case 1000.
Most of the testimony so far has been related to case 4000
Case 4000 accuses Netanyahu of bribery in an alleged scheme with co-defendants Shaul and Iris Elovitch to exchange positive news coverage on Walla for Netanyahu’s implementation of policies favorable to Elovitch’s Bezeq telecommunications.
Case 2000 alleges that Netanyahu sought to weaken the newspaper Yisrael Hayom with legislation in return for positive coverage from publisher Arnon Mozes's Yediot Aharonot.
In Case 1000, Netanyahu is alleged to have received expensive gifts in return for furthering the interests of businessman Arnon Milchan.
