Tiberius Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Quote JERUSALEM —Israel’s attorney general recommended Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be indicted for fraud, bribery and breach of trust, according to a letter to the Israeli leader’s lawyers, casting uncertainty over his political future just weeks before he faces reelection. Netanyahu has strongly denied the allegations against him and will have the opportunity to present his defense at a hearing before any final decision by Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to issue an indictment. But the recommendation indicates that Israel’s top legal authority believes there is enough evidence to proceed with a trial. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/netanyahu-should-be-indicted-on-charges-of-fraud-bribery-and-breach-of-trust-israels-attorney-general-recommends/2019/02/28/7f971e7c-3524-11e9-8375-e3dcf6b68558_story.html?utm_term=.851e9ff2e925 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with any country/people, there are conservatives, liberals, and extremes on both ends. As I mentioned in the other thread, Israel has its far-right who have been likened to the KKK. I for one hope Bibi goes down and more moderates come back to power.

Hate to burst your bubble but bibi and his wife have been under investigation for nearly 2 years. He’s a terrible PM and I’m no leftist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think efficacy of leadership is its most important quality. No one in their right mind can say Netanyahu hasn't been effective as a leader. Take a look at Israel's diplomatic standing in the middle east today versus what it was two decades ago. Not enough for you? Well, how about the number of bus bombings since he took over? Economic prosperity? Anything? What POSSIBLE leg do you have to stand on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like him as a leader and personally don’t think he is good for the long term benefit of Israel. Many Israelis i know who live in Tel Aviv agree with me.

B-Man Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 HE PERSISTED: Netanyahu Becomes Longest-Serving Prime Minister. “He has proven to be not only a skilled and charismatic political operator, but also a remarkably effective steward of Israel’s prosperity and safety.” .
