Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was formally charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust on Thursday, making him the first Israeli premier to be indicted while in office and sending Israel’s already stalemated political system into further disarray.
Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit capped almost three years of investigation and months of speculation by handing down a 63-page indictment against the country’s longest-serving prime minister and its center of political gravity for the last decade.
The cases against Netanyahu center on police allegations that the prime minister and his wife, Sara, accepted more than $260,000 worth of luxury goods in exchange for political favors and that Netanyahu interceded with regulators and lawmakers on behalf of two media companies in exchange for positive news stories.

Netanyahu as a member of the Knesset can file an immunity claim.
Impeachment Leftist Israeli style.
“allegations that the prime minister and his wife, Sara, accepted more than $260,000 worth of luxury goods in exchange for political favors and that Netanyahu interceded with regulators and lawmakers on behalf of two media companies in exchange for positive news stories.”
Drain the swamp
Israel has a deep state of its own apparently.
These leftist freaks are going after all the good guys.
Get a rope! .......... for the leftist freaks.
God if it is your will bless President Netanyahu and his supporters as they trudge through there version of heathens rabble rousers and bless Israel.
From what I recall, he took a box of cigars from a friend, and put his maid on the government payroll after he was elected Prime Minister.
That’s what they call corruption.
Netanyahu should have sicced the Mossad on Soros long ago, before Soros could contaminate everything in his path to destruction of freedom.
But Biden’s son getting 1.5B is ok.
Anything to keep Ukraine out of the MSM
Israeli politics are very complex...much more than the UK or the EU.
He is a plebe compared to our politicians..... He should have had his son get 1.5 billion to administer in a hedge fund or a solid income monthly as a lobbyist.
Israel has the same problems we do with leftist who fight to win. Bibi has done well for Israel, but the left fights to win using every available tool.
“Drain the Swamp,” indeed.
Our family stands with this brave, patriotic man.
The Deep State in Israel is aka the Israeli Supreme Court, whose members openly hate free elections.
Kamala Harris should run for Prime Minister of India based on her mother’s citizenship, since she can’t be President here.
Just as US has its deep state CIA and police state agencies, Israel has the Mossad.
“It’s not just the US and Israel and it isn’t just the deep state. It’s globalists vs. nationalists; i.e. Globalists vs. those who insist on maintaining their sovreignty.”
***********
Exactly, the issue is that when Obama’s campaign strategists came to oust Netanyahu in the election, they failed, but they left the “Lawfare” people who’ve infected our country there as well.
The goal isn’t corruption, it’s to make it impossible for any non-Marxist/Globalist politician to function
If American political lawyer issued a 68 page document it wouldn’t even cover 5% of their parking expenses receipts. At least Israeli political attacks enjoy brevity.
