HeadlineOct 08, 2018

Meanwhile, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in a Jerusalem courtroom on Sunday, facing trial on charges of fraud and breach of trust. Sara Netanyahu is accused of spending about $100,000 to hire celebrity chefs to prepare meals for the Netanyahus and their guests, even though the prime minister’s residence has a full-time chef. The trial comes as prosecutors have recommended indictments against Benjamin Netanyahu for accepting bribes and trading political favors for positive news coverage.
