Benjamin Netanyahu is vowing to carry on as Israel's prime minister a day after police recommended indicting him on corruption charges. "After I read the recommendations report, I can say it is biased, extreme, full of holes like Swiss cheese and doesn't hold water." Netanyahu has served as prime minister since 2009, and previously from 1996 to 1999. While ministers and mayors are required to resign if indicted, Israeli law is less clear when it comes to the prime minister. Given the legal limbo, and the prolonged process that could lie ahead, Netanyahu's political future depended mostly on public opinion and political constellations that resulted.
