According to 2021's Global Corruption Perceptions Index, the Israeli regime has received its lowest score to date, with a 59/100, marking a trend of decline toward a score of 50.

The index has been published by Transparency International since 1995, and is the world's most common tool in assessing the perception of corruption in the public sector in the 180 countries surveyed, and provides a picture of business transactions in countries perceived as corrupt.

"Israel" had received a score of 64 in 2016, and 62 in 2017, 61 in 2018, and 60 in 2019 and 2020, dropping down to 35th place. It is now 36th in the world with its score of 59.

Lithuania (61), Barbados (65), Qatar (63), Chile (67) and the UAE (69) all ranked higher than the Israeli regime in 2021.

The US has also been in a downward trend, receiving a score of 67 for the second year in a row, a far cry of its high of 75 in 2017.

The index's average score is 43, with Denmark, New Zealand and Finland all ranked first with a score of 88.

Netanyahu's blatant corruption

The extent of corruption in the Israeli political, security, and legal system was especially laid bare during the trial of former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, which began in 2020. 

Many in Netanyahu's inner circle were implicated in the Pandora Papers, and the former PM's current corruption trial, in which he is accused of obtaining hundreds of thousands of dollars in privileges, exchanging political influence for favorable media coverage, and corruption in a very serious security corruption case involving a submarine deal with Germany.
