Netanyahu to be indicted for bribery, fraud, breach of trust

Source: Axios

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will face indictments in all three corruption charges against him — for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, according to Israeli officials.

Why it matters: The looming indictments have plunged Israel into a political deadlock following an inconclusive election two months ago. Netanyahu and Benny Gantz both failed to form coalitions, and a proposed national unity government has been blocked because Gantz refuses to serve under a prime minister facing corruption charges and Netanyahu refuses to step aside as prime minister because the indictments threaten his political survival.

Announcement to be made in about a hour.
