Bibi Indicted on Multiple Counts Just Before Upcoming Election

[finnbow]

JERUSALEM — Israel’s attorney general announced his plans on Thursday to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, imperiling Mr. Netanyahu’s political future just 40 days before he is to stand for re-election.

The announcement by Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit was the culmination of a two-year investigation into Mr. Netanyahu’s dealings with wealthy businessmen, including a Hollywood movie producer, Israeli newspaper publishers and the head of the country’s largest telecommunications conglomerate.

This significantly increases the likelihood of Bibi's rival, former Lieutenant General Benny Gantz, the former army chief of staff (someone my son got to know pretty well and liked when he managed security upgrades to the Ministry of Defense headquarters in Tel Aviv). Go Benny, go.
