Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is suspected of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in two cases, Israel Police confirmed on Thursday when it requested a gag order on the ongoing talks to recruit a state witness. The gag order was granted and is effective until September 17.

A response on behalf of the prime minister stated on Thursday: "We completely reject the unfounded claims made against the prime minister. The campaign to change the government is underway, but it is destined to fail, for a simple reason: there won't be anything because there was nothing."

Also on Thursday, Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit said that progress was being made in talks with a former top aide to Netanyahu, Ari Harow, about becoming a state witness.

Speaking during a ceremony at the Supreme Court, Mendelblit said "we're making progress" and that the prosecution was "working with the police" on getting, Netanyahu's former chief of staff, to become state witness. He asked reporters to "let us work in peace and find the truth."

According to recent reports by Haaretz, the information he provided allegedly indicated criminal connections between Harow, the prime minister and people in the prime minister's circles.

This is entirely unsurprising.

[GSG Flash]

Really hope this is true and it results in him getting removed from office, it would be glorious.

 

[avaya]

I feel like this is Christmas.

 

[kmax]

Netanyahu is a scumbag and a cheat? I'm utterly surprised.

The shit politicians in the US get away with really can't bring us to conclusions on other countries

Like really not

It wouldn't surprise me if he escapes from this, sure, but not because Trump exists

 

[YesThatGuy]

NSS, the one country attempting a new holocaust? Who would have thought?

 

[Oriel]

The Israeli Police seem to have a particular knack for going after bent politicians, particularly those that happen to be Presidents and Prime Minister. Quite impressive really.

 

[KimiNewt]

Would anything actually be done about this?

If the allegations are true and the court deems it as such, yes. Israel isn't the US and it's fairly easy to remove a PM if they are convicted and often about to be convicted. It had happened multiple times.

Former PM Olmert is currently in jail, as is former president Katzav.

 

[commedieu]

Quick. Pass a law that investigating is antisemetic!

 

[norinrad]

Kushner hanging out with some delightful people. Crooked Russians and Israelis. Delightful.

Kushner is going to solve the issues in the middle East. His father in law trusts him.

 

[Trojita]

Get him.

 

[JustSomeone]

Former PM Olmert is currently in jail, as is former president Katzav.

They aren't anymore,actually

 

[KimiNewt]

You're right, but they were until recently. I forgot.
