If indicted, the four-term prime minister would be facing one of the greatest challenges to his political survival. The final decision on whether to indict rests with Israel’s attorney-general, who is still weighing whether to charge Netanyahu in the other two cases. Some analysts have said Netanyahu could call a snap vote in light of the legal proceedings against him. But Netanyahu may want to seek a renewed mandate from the people, forcing a prosecutor to think twice before indicting him. The police also recommended that charges of fraud and breach of trust be brought against Netanyahu and his wife.
