Israel’s attorney-general intends to indict Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu over alleged corruption, the Justice Ministry said on
Thursday.
The announcement, marking the first time a serving Israeli prime
minister has been put on official notice of planned prosecution,
deepened uncertainty over Netanyahu’s prospects in a tightly contested
election to be held in April.
Netanyahu, who has denied any wrongdoing in the three long-running
corruption investigations against him, was due to deliver a televised
statement later in the day. He has already said he has no intention of
resigning.
