The charges include allegations of granting regulatory favors in exchange for positive media coverage, wrongfully receiving gifts, and negotiating a deal for better newspaper coverage. Netanyahu denies all charges and has pleaded not guilty. As Prime Minister, he is not obligated to step down unless convicted, and he can remain in office throughout the appeals process. If convicted, he could face prison time and/or a fine. The trial has divided the Israeli public and has had a significant impact on Israeli politics.
