Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
He is doing everything he can to stay in office, because if he holds office, he can't be thrown in jail.
Sound familiar? It's a bit like Donald Trump's situation in the United States.
But Netanyahu's case has an old-school flavour. It's a fierce battle between media tycoons, and it even involves Australian media nepo baby James Packer.
It's a rollicking tale. But with a military campaign against Gaza and tensions with Iran rising, it could also change the fate of the war in the Middle East.
