https://www.axios.com/israel-benjam...aud-f5acc07a-1569-463c-8a4f-06d58b959fef.html Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announced Thursday his decision to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in one case of bribery and two cases of fraud and breach of trust. All indictments are pending a hearing. Why it matters: The announcement comes after more than two years of investigations and less than two months before Israel's highly anticipated April 9 elections. It's also the first time in Israel's history that a sitting prime minister will face criminal charges. Details: In case 4000 — which involves Netanyahu's relationship with Israel's leading telecommunications tycoon — the indictment is for bribery. In case 2000 — Netanyahu's alleged deal with a newspaper publisher for favorable coverage — the indictment is for fraud and breach of trust. In case 1000 — involving Netanyahu allegedly taking $200,000 from businessmen in return for promoting their interests — the indictment is for fraud and breach of trust. Backdrop: Israeli police in December recommended Mandelblit indict Netanyahu and his wife for bribery due to their relationship with Israel's leading telecommunications tycoon. This was the third time in the last year police had recommended Netanyahu be indicted for bribery.
Can't exactly say I'm shocked to hear Bibi might be crooked. I swear voters are terrible judges of character.
The forum neo-cons are the only ones that jerk off to him. My Israeli friends hate him and are always surprised that modern day conservatives would get on their knees to get some of that. @bigtexxx once even attacked our country/Obama to side with Bibi
This is the least surprising thing I've seen in the past, dunno, 35 months? Dershowitz attempting to defend him just makes it all the more amusing. Brilliant lawyer that he is, he sure does pick some great clients: Mike Tyson, Claus von Bulow, OJ, Jimmy Bakker, Leona Helmsley, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, you know, those kind of people.
As a supporter of Israel, you won't see me kvetching over this. Don't let the door hit you in the tuches on the way out, schmuck.
Washington Post licking its lips: What may read to some as a not too far-fetched scenario for a Trump impeachment ahead of the 2020 elections felt much less like fiction to Israelis this week. With about six weeks to go until early elections in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s future in politics was cast into doubt on Thursday after the country’s attorney general recommended that he should be indicted on fraud, bribery and breach of trust charges, despite the prime minister’s vehement denials. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...-study-impeachment-us/?utm_term=.7ad54eb96b6a
