Just days after he began a new term in office, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being tried in Jerusalem court for corruption.<\/p>\n

Mr Netanyahu, 70, is the first standing leader to face trial in the country’s history. He denies accusations of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.<\/p>\n

According to a BBC news report, when he arrived at the courthouse for a brief hearing, he said the cases were aimed at “toppling him in any way possible”.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu has sworn back into office as head of a rare unity government a week ago.<\/p>\n

His political rival, Benny Gantz, agreed to share power following three inconclusive elections in under a year.<\/p>\n

He has rejected calls by opponents to step down while he fights the cases.<\/p>\n
