Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s motorcade was involved in a traffic accident near his Jerusalem office, according to local media.
The incident, which occurred on Monday, reportedly involved a collision with a motorcycle. Although the vehicle directly impacted by the crash was stopped, Netanyahu was swiftly moved away from the scene for safety.
Authorities confirmed that the prime minister was not harmed in the incident, and there was no disruption to his schedule. Details about the condition of the motorcyclist or others involved were not immediately disclosed.
The accident took place on a day Netanyahu appeared in court for the 27th time as part of his ongoing trial on corruption charges. He is facing allegations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in several cases, with hearings being held twice a week in Tel Aviv. The trial proceedings are expected to continue until 7 May.
Despite the court appearances and the motorcade accident, Netanyahu remains active in office, navigating both legal challenges and the broader political tensions in Israel. The incident raised brief security concerns but did not lead to any official disruptions or injuries.
