BREAKING: The judge presiding over Netanyahu's corruption case was found dead.
Judge Benny Sagi, president of the Beersheba District Court, was killed in a traffic accident on Route 6 (Highway 6) on Sunday, January 4, 2026.
➤ He was riding his motorcycle when he was struck by a vehicle that entered the highway from an off-road/side area and collided with his bike.
➤ Paramedics from Magen David Adom found him with critical injuries and no vital signs and pronounced him dead at the scene.
➤ Police have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the crash.
Correction/Clarification:
He was not presiding over Netanyahu's main corruption trial (Cases 1000, 2000, 4000), these cases include judges Rivka Friedman-Feldman, Moshe Bar-Am, and Oded Shaham.
Judge Benny Sagi was part of Case 3000 which Netanyahu was being investigated in but didn’t get indicted however Netanyahu’s personal lawyer and cousin was implicated.
