Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicted on fraud, breach of trust and bribery
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday was indicted on charges of fraud, bribery and breach of trust, throwing the country’s political scene into even greater disarray and raising the prospect that the country’s longest-serving leader will be forced out of office.
“A day in which the attorney general decides to serve an indictment against a sitting prime minister for serious crimes of corrupt governance is a heavy and sad day — for the Israeli public and for me personally,” he told reporters in Jerusalem. Gantz, in a statement, also pointedly expressed confidence that proceedings against Netanyahu were being carried out “faithfully, honestly and professionally” by law enforcement authorities and the attorney general. In his livestreamed statement, Netanyahu said it was time to “investigate the investigators,” demanding in independent inquiry into the judicial process against him.
Trump also moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv and recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in 1967. On Wednesday, Gantz acknowledged after a weeks-long effort that he could not secure a parliamentary majority needed in order to form a government — a step that could set Israel on the path to yet another national election.
