Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu s corruption trial is to resume, with the court in Jerusalem overseeing it due to hear evidence for the first time.
Mr Netanyahu, 71, is accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in connection with three separate cases.
He formally pleaded not guilty to the charges at a hearing in February.
His trial has been delayed several times because of coronavirus-related restrictions and last month s general election, in which it was a key issue.
The election failed to end the deadlock that has plagued Israeli politics for the last two years, with Mr Netanyahu s right-wing bloc and the parties opposed to him both currently short of a majority in parliament.

These incredible images were nominated as finalists for the Nature Photographer of the Year competition for showcasing the beauty of the natural world.
Organised by Nature Talks, there are a variety of sections including landscape, underwater, wildlife and storytelling - with 19,547 images entered from 95 different countries.
The overall winner was Italian photographer Roberto Marchegiani, who was named Nature Photographer of the Year for 2020.
His winning shot was of a giraffe emerging from the forest in Lake Nakuru, Kenya, during the rainy season. Roberto and his friends saw a group of giraffes walking in front of woodland.
But instead of snapping the animals together, Roberto focused on an area of the trees which he thought would frame the long-legged animal well and waited. Eventually a tall creature appeared in his lens, and he got the wonderful shot he was after.
