Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remained defiant Thursday in the face of reports — which he acknowledged — that police are expected to recommend his indictment for demanding and receiving gifts from businessmen, including cases of champagne and Cuban cigars, in exchange for personal favors.
Responding to numerous Israeli media reports, Netanyahu posted an angry video to his Facebook page agreeing that the recommendation he be indicted appears imminent.

Because no politician EVER did favors for friends!!!
This breaks my heart. I sure hope that Israel doesn’t again turn to a Leftist, who will sell out his country for his ideology.
What kind of favors?
Let me guess....Russian collusion!!!
I wonder if this is a sign that the world communist party has given up on trying to get rid of Trump. They’ve decided to go after another freedom loving leader.
BiBi doesn’t have to extort champagne or cigars, there’s something to this that ain’t about graft.
I think they can mulit-task.
Leftists will celebrate Netanyahu’s indictment as the best news that they have had in years.
Must agree, there’s more to this for sure. Would suck to lose BiBi.
Relax, Netanyahu may be indicted ... but he is never going to resign.
Responding to numerous Israeli media reports, Netanyahu posted an angry video to his Facebook page agreeing that the recommendation he be indicted appears imminent.
This sounds a lot like the impeachment furor with President Trump.
Note that BiBi does not admit guilt, he simply acknowledged that the recommendations for indictments would be coming soon.
Coming to the US soon, unless things change.
Leftist love it when their countries are led by weak ‘leaders’ because that gives the boost for a real totalitarian socialist to rise to prominence who will ensure that dissent is a thing of the past and absolute control a way of life.
In Israel’s case, leftist there are in love with the ‘peaceful mussulman’ idea and suicide is fine by them as long as the mussulmen are pleased by their efforts.
Total BS!
If Netanyahu goes the ME is in serious jeopardy of going up in flames.
This administration must do what it can to defend and preserve this man as leader of Israel.
Those are not the most serious charges.
According to recordings held by the police, Netanyahu negotiated for favorable coverage in exchange for a law that would have weakened Israel Hayom, a free daily owned by Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson.
Tough to believe Bibi would stoop to anything like this. If he gets tossed it’s a big problem that’s for sure.
I can’t even imagine why he would do such nickle and dime stuff if, indeed, it’s true. Makes no sense. That wouldn’t be bribery but stupidity. Makes me skeptical about the veracity of the charge.
If you read the entire article Bibi says he’s not guilty.
Adelson better be all hands and feet on deck in defending BiBi or he could run into some real problems here in the US.
“According to recordings held by the police, Netanyahu negotiated for favorable coverage in exchange for a law that would have weakened Israel Hayom, a free daily owned by Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson. “
This could bring him down. So it looks like we have a US rat billionaire who was probably flooding Israel with anti Bibi leftist BS and Bibi may have crossed the line to stop it. Not good.
