@Brand X,
Quote: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicted on fraud, breach of trust and bribery
Some filler on that case;
Quote:The charges center on allegations that the prime minister and his wife accepted more than $260,000 worth of jewelry, cigars and other gifts in exchange for political favors. The prime minister is also accused of interfering with regulatory bodies and lawmakers on behalf of two media companies in exchange for positive news coverage.
On Wednesday, Netanyahu tweeted an opinion piece by Israeli legal scholars. In the tweet, the Israeli premier noted, "There is no court in a modern-enlightened state that has convicted a public servant for a bribe for receiving positive coverage."
He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in the cases and says he is a victim of a "witch hunt."
He does demonstrate the classic NPD symptoms of many long-term national leaders. Entitlement is a descriptor somehow lacking, though.
Quote:Criminal charges will not force Netanyahu to resign, but the indictment might cripple the 70-year-old prime minister's chances in the looming elections.
It's probably time for some fresh ideas, anyway.
