The Israeli Attorney General announced Thursday he recommended bribery and fraud charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The police say Netanyahu promoted regulatory changes in favor of telecom giant Bezeq who in turn gave him favorable coverage.
It appears Israel has a Deep State too.
Top Israeli reporter Caroline Glick calls the charges 100% BS.

More from Joel Pollak — a “lame case” six weeks before election.
To summarize: @netanyahu didn’t really get anything of value, and didn’t provide anything special in return. Lame case with political motivations, six weeks before an election. https://t.co/vF4UWRU3dD

NBC News reported:
Israel’s attorney general announced Thursday that his office plans to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on corruption charges after a two-year investigation.
The prime minister faces one count of bribery and two counts of fraud and breach of trust.
Police have previously recommended indicting Netanyahu for bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three different cases.
The most serious allegations against Netanyahu involve his relationship with Shaul Elovitch, the controlling shareholder of Israel’s telecom giant Bezeq. Police recommended an indictment in the case based on evidence collected that confidants of Netanyahu promoted regulatory changes worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Bezeq. In exchange, they believe Netanyahu used his connections with Elovitch to receive positive press coverage on Bezeq’s popular subsidiary news site, Walla. Police have said their investigation concluded that Netanyahu and Elovitch engaged in a “bribe-based relationship.”
