    We know from Trump's defenders that he cares about giving money to nations that have corruption. Has he withheld aid from Israel until they investigate Bibi?

    This is the fallout from Bibi's inability to form a government. He was hoping to win the election with his allies which would have given him the ability to pass a law to shield himself from an indictment.

    But the whole thing failed so now the indictment moved forward. It'll be interesting to see how election #3 goes with Bibi under indictment.

    I didn't know Jewish people believed in witches.

    Seems like it's be an offensive word to them, given their shared history of medieval persecution, tbh

    I wouldnt be surprised if Likud leadership cuts a deal with Lieberman that makes him PM and offers Nethanyahu immunity if he hands over party leadership

    Even if Likud offered that deal, Lieberman would still have to sit with the ultra-orthodox. That government would fall apart pretty quickly. Lieberman's domestic policy positions don't exactly align with the orthodox parties and they all hate each other at this point. Lieberman's core constituency was historically Russian Jews but with their declining immigration he's been pivoting towards right leaning secular voters. He'll lose all of that good will if he leads a coalition filled with religious parties.

    Garden variety bribery.

    Favorable media coverage to BiBi <-> regulatory favors for the media company

    Champagne & cigars <-> tax exemptions & passports

    It's almost quaint and quotidian in comparison to our own executive corruption scandals.

    Ill give Trumpr credit when he goes corruption and scandal, the ****er goes big!

    Rape, emoluments, fraud, Russian espionage, all of his associates being sent to prison, now those are some ****ing scandals!
