■ Attorney general also intends to indict Netanyahu for breach of trust in two other cases
■ Decision comes a month and a half before the election
Israel's Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit announced on Thursday his decision to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate cases, pending a hearing.
Mendelblit's decision comes after three years of investigations, and it marks the first time in Israel's history that an attorney general announces an indictment for bribery against an incumbent prime minister.
The Likud party petitioned the High Court on Thursday in a last-minute bid to block the announcement, but was rejected. In response, the ruling party said the court failed to stop the left from meddling in the election.
indicting a sitting prime minister a month before an election? pretty ballsy, wish they had pulled this type of stunt with hillary clinton in comey's july statement
is this a glimpse at trump's fortune in the 2020 election?
