Can Netanyahu get indicted and then re-elected? (Al-Monitor)
BEN CASPIT The answer to the question of whether the end of the Netanyahu era is at hand is not yet clear — but the picture is gaining clarity. On September 4, the prosecution related that it plans to combine all three cases — known as case numbers 1,000, 2000 and 4,000 — involving suspicions of corruption against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It will make one comprehensive recommendation to the attorney general on whether or not to charge him.
Netanyahu reacted to the news with mixed feelings: on one hand, he feels a certain satisfaction with the prospects of further delays; on the other, he realises a combined case could yield a harsh indictment.
