A police investigation probing gifts allegedly given by media mogul Nuni Mozes to the Prime Minister, as well as claims of a conflict of interest in a purchase by Netanyahu’s government of ballistic missile submarines and allegations that public funds were diverted to Netanyahu family’s private residence have all fueled speculation Netanyahu could be forced to resign, making new elections all but inevitable.

Earlier this week a veteran Shas MK warned that Netanyahu’s resignation was increasingly likely, adding that his party was already making preparations for early elections. […]

But a recent pair of surveys conducted by the Panels polling agency shows a bit of good news for the Prime Minister, revealing that a majority of Israelis back the Prime Minister, and that Israelis are increasingly opposed to calls for Mr. Netanyahu to resign. …

I have a feeling Trump want Bibi to stay. And so Bibi will not resign, and Israelis will want a US President that is pro Israel to get a partner he wants.

The new US ambassador is pro Israel, and Israel would be shooting itself in the foot to replace Bibi with Lapid.

Stand your ground Mr. Prime Minister!

Israel’s political class is notoriously corrupt.

But unlike the US they apparently have a good judicial branch that usually is not excempting criminal and corrupt politicians.

We will see what the results of the investigations will be... but I’d be not surprised if “Bibi” is eventually found guilty.

These attacks against Bibi are just the same as the attacks on Reagan and Trump. Nothing more than the Libs repeating their useless and stubborn grinding against any conservative leader.
