Netanyahu will testify three days of the week, while on the fourth, the court will hear testimonies from other witnesses brought forward by the defense.
"I understand exactly what Hamas wants, they don't want a deal, they want to break us through these horrific videos," he said.
"Hamas's lie of starvation resonates around the world, while the actual systematic starvation is against our hostages who suffer brutal physical and mental abuse," he said.
Netanyahu will be unable to attend the scheduled criminal trial hearings this week and is set to resume in September.
The hearings resumed on Monday after a nearly month-long hiatus, due to the strikes in Iran and the prime minister's diplomatic trip to the United States.
Netanyahu is scheduled to fly out on Sunday, and return either on Thursday or Friday.
Netanyahu testified that his friendships with billionaires Milchan and Packer were personal, denying any political favors despite evidence of gifts and contact.
The prosecution’s questioning, led by attorney Yehonatan Tadmor, focused on the depth and extent of Netanyahu’s friendship with Arnon Milchan.
According to the psychologist, Netanyahu is a sharp, authoritative leader, but emotionally detached, shaped by a distant father, and lacking in personal support.
