Judges in Netanyahu’s long-running corruption trial have repeatedly signaled evidentiary weaknesses in the sole bribery charge under Case 4000, while the fraud and breach-of-trust allegations in Cases 1000, 2000, and 4000 remain. Netanyahu completed his 98-day testimony in June 2026, after which proceedings shifted to other defense witnesses with no verdict timeline set and hearings potentially extending into 2028 if the bribery count persists. Recent court sessions have focused on scheduling rather than new evidence, and the prime minister continues official duties amid coalition pressures. Traders view these procedural realities and judicial skepticism as the dominant factors lowering the near-term odds of conviction.
