Explainer: What are the allegations against Israel’s Netanyahu?

PM denies any wrongdoing and says he’s the victim of a politically orchestrated ‘witch-hunt’ by the media and opponents. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been indicted on corruption charges on Thursday, presenting one of the gravest challenges yet to Israel’s longest-serving leader. Case 1000 centres on allegations that Netanyahu and his wife Sara wrongfully received gifts from Arnon Milchan, a prominent Hollywood producer and Israeli citizen, and Australian billionaire businessman James Packer. Case 2000 alleges that Netanyahu negotiated a deal with the owner of Israel’s best-selling daily newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, for better coverage. Case 4000 alleges that Netanyahu granted regulatory favours to Israel’s leading telecommunications company, Bezeq Telecom Israel, in return for positive coverage of him and his wife on a news website controlled by the company’s former chairman.
