Prosecutors file an amended indictment in the corruption cases against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after the Jerusalem District Court accepted a demand by the premier’s lawyers that the original indictment lacked important details.
The court had ordered the state to clearly distinguish Netanyahu from his wife and kids in the charge sheet, and detail a list of instances in which the premier allegedly made requests from tycoon Shaul Elovitch for favorable changes of coverage in the Elovitch-owned Walla news site, in an alleged bribery deal between the two that included regulatory benefits.
The detailed list includes 315 incidents related to 230 specific requests to change Walla’s coverage in favor of Netanyahu and his family.

Egypt says it has opened an investigation into the deaths of four COVID-19 patients in an intensive care unit allegedly due to lack of oxygen, which sparked a public outcry.
“The prosecutor’s office in Al-Husseiniya (in the northern Sharqiya province) summoned the director of Al-Husseiniya hospital to question him over the deaths of four people due to lack of oxygen,” a judicial source tells AFP, without specifying the dates of the deaths.
Since yesterday, numerous social media users have shared a video of patients in a hospital ward, with a voice heard saying “everyone is dead in intensive care.”

The left-wing Meretz party agrees to cancel its primaries ahead of the March elections, meaning its slate will mostly be a duplicate of the previous elections.
Nobody stepped up to challenge the leadership of current party leader Nitzan Horowitz.
The slate will see one change, however, as Nazareth-based political and social activist Ghaida Rinawie Zoabi will get the fourth slot. She is the second Arab member in Meretz’s top 5, alongside MK Issawi Freij.
