Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Could be Indicted on Corruption Charges On Tuesday, Israeli police release a statement saying there is evidence that Netanyahu committed bribery, fraud and breach of trust on more than one occasion. One of the allegations states that Netanyahu asked an Israeli newspaper for favorable coverage in exchange for help against a rival publication. Now Israel's attorney general will have to decide whether or not to press charges. Netanyahu has denied the charges and said that he will continue to serve in his role.
