Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s backers view his corruption trial as a witch hunt — but his detractors argue it is the system finally catching up to a ruthless political operative who is prepared to do anything to hold on to power.

THE BBC was called on yesterday to follow a host of national broadcasters and boycott the Eurovision Song Contest, after organisers voted to include Israel despite its ongoing slaughter in Gaza.

Israel has lost favour with US public opinion. Aware of the danger this poses, prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu has announced the opening of an ‘eighth front’, the ‘battle for truth’, in order to win back hearts and minds.

But, as Netanyahu told US influencers in New York on 26 September, ‘weapons change over time … the most important ones are the social media.’

Egypt on Wednesday rejected Israeli claims that the two sides had reached an agreement to reopen the Rafah crossing in one direction to allow Palestinians to leave the Gaza Strip, stressing that no coordination or discussions had taken place, according to the State Information Service (SIS).
