Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be indicted on corruption charges, the country's attorney general said Thursday, just weeks before the country goes to the polls. ISRAEL AWAITS DECISION ON NETANYAHU CORRUPTION INDICTMENTThe indictments are subject to a hearing, and marks the first time in Israeli history that a sitting prime minister has been charged with a crime. Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert served time in prison for corruption, but had already resigned by the time he was charged. Either way, the upcoming elections appear to be turning into a referendum on Netanyahu as he seeks to become the longest-serving prime minister in Israeli history. Dershowitz has warned that an indictment against the prime minister ahead of elections would undermine the democratic process.
