Intel: What’s next for Israel after Netanyahu’s indictment

Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announced today that he was indicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in all three graft cases for which he was being investigated. Netanyahu is charged with bribery for allegedly offering incentives to telecommunications company Bezeq in exchange for positive news coverage, and with fraud and breach of trust for receiving gifts from his millionaire friends and attempting to get a deal with the owner of the Yediot media group.

This is the second time a prime minister in Israel has faced criminal indictment. Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was sent to prison after he was convicted of bribery.
