— Israel's opposition leader testified Monday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had twice tried to persuade him to back legislation that would have given a Hollywood mogul millions in tax breaks. But Yair Lapid, a former prime minister himself and a major Netanyahu rival, said he was not convinced.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chairs a cabinet meeting at the prime minister's office in Jerusalem, June 11, 2023.Netanyahu did personal favors for Milchan, including asking U.S. officials to extend Milchan's U.S. resident's permit and extending Israeli regulations exempting Israeli returnees from declaring foreign income, according to the indictment.
Lapid said he told Netanyahu that it wasn't going to happen, and the prime minister responded that it was"a good law." Milchan is expected to testify in the case in a video call from London, where he resides, sometime later this month.
