Just to update, Bibi is in a "pre-trial" per whether he should be tried on corruption.

It's the equivalent of the preliminary hearing in the States when the judge hears from both sides and determines whether or not there's sufficient evidence of a crime to go to trial.

The AG will announce the decision in December.
