Bibi Says Pre-elections Indictment Hearing Is Absurd

Local Editor

Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published a video Thursday, in which he addressed the possibility of being summoned to an indictment hearing before upcoming elections, scheduled to April 9.

Netanyahu's statement was made two days after news broke that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit and Attorney Shai Nitzan are completing work on the three investigations in the coming weeks and make a decision on whether to indict Netanyahu and on what charges about a month and a half before “Israelis” head to the polls.

Judicial officials estimate there is sufficient evidence against Netanyahu to indict him for fraud and breach of trust in a conflict of interest, and discussions are now focused on whether there is sufficient evidence for a bribery conviction as well.

At a press conference in Brazil Monday, Netanyahu said he does not intend to resign or bow out of the election race if charges are filed against him.

"The prime minister does not have to resign during the hearing process ... The hearing doesn't end until my side is heard," he claimed.

"Imagine what would happen if a prime minister is ousted before the hearing is finished, and then after the hearing they decide to close the case. It's absurd."

During an annual meeting that Mandelblit had last week with former attorneys general and attorneys, most of the attendees contended he must make the effort to conclude work on the cases before the elections, so the public could be informed before placing their ballots.
