In Case 1000, Netanyahu is on trial for a conflict of interest relating to billionaire Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan, who was his close friend and confidant while he served as communications minister from 2013 to 2015.

Allegedly, the prime minister received thousands of dollars worth of champagne and cigars from Milchan and from Australian billionaire James Packer, who was a friend to both.

Netanyahu, allegedly, pushed for legislative and regulatory changes that would have been beneficial to Milchan during that time.
