Israeli police chiefs will recommend to the country's attorney general that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be indicted on corruption charges, according to reports in local media.

The Times of Israel reported Wednesday that police chiefs, including the general commissioner of Israel's police force, were in "unanimous agreement" that Netanyahu should be indicted for allegedly accepting bribes and receiving lavish gifts from wealthy benefactors, including Israeli-born Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan.

And before all the "fake news" cries start, keep reading the article. Netanyahu himself has confirmed a recommendation to indict is likely, although of course he denies everything. Just like his buddy Donny, he has tried to claim fake news about the investigation, but it's not working in Israel either.

At least Israel allows for the PM to be indicted. In the US the prevailing opinion is that the POTUS cannot be indicted for crimes committed while in office.

Fun Newsweek facts .

1) Newsweek sold for one dollar - that’s the company itself that sold for 1 dollar, not the magazine .
2) the New York district attorneys office raided Newsweek’s office
3) all their journalists and editors were recently fired
4) the parent company of Newsweek has an IRS lien of over one million dollars .

Just a hint... don’t trust Newsweek for your source of news . It should be called “fake Newsweek “

Many of the public officials in Israel have been indicted or investigated. Seems it's a normal part of the situation there. One of the earlier PMs was thrown in jail I think....

Not exactly shining examples of the purity of a religious state. Then again, either is the Vatican or the Saudis, etc - where money exists, plenty of people will help themselves.

n. Given that Orthodox can give the balance of power to any government they join with, Israel is Jewish as in an ethnic group, not as in a religious group.

Not a religious state as the religious only comprise 10% of the state. It's a secular state.

It's really annoying when posters use the word "fake" for nearly anything. It's an article related to indictments of sitting officials. It's not creating information out of thin air for information that can easily proven to be factual by simply doing a 1 minute internet search. Anyone who has access to the internet can do this. You want another article that discusses indictments, here you go.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.ee07d8f086ef

As to Israel, so what if the Police recommend it. Police recommend numerous items, but its the prosecutors and the courts who can choose to do anything. Also it's not a two party gov't system, it's a coalition gov't made up of multiple parties and his party got the most votes and they chose him to be PM.

Like Trump, lot of his trouble comes from family with no boundaries and bad impulse control

Just because Trump has convinced the gullible that you can deny facts you don't like and call them fake doesn't mean the rest of us are obligated to play that silly game. Facts remain facts even when they go against the political narrative you prefer.
