Israel se dirige a una lucha política tras la acusación contra Netanyahu

November 22, 2019 - El primer ministro israelí Benjamín Netanyahu fue acusado de corrupción el jueves, con lo que se lanza al paralizado sistema político de Israel a mayor desorden y se amenaza el control del poder de 10 años de Netanyahu.

He rejected calls to resign, angrily accusing prosecutors of staging “an attempted coup.”

The first-ever charges against a sitting Israeli prime minister capped a three-year investigation, with Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit indicting Netanyahu for fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes.

The indictment does not require the 70-year-old Netanyahu to resign, but it significantly weakens him at a time when Israel’s political parties appear to be limping toward a third election in under a year.

An ashen-faced Netanyahu appeared on national TV late Thursday, claiming he was the victim of a grand conspiracy by police and prosecutors who had intimidated key witnesses into testifying against him.
