JERUSALEM Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel was charged on Thursday with bribery and breach of trust in a series of corruption cases that threaten his political future and present the country with an unprecedented legal fight.
Lawmakers can vote to oust him only if he's convicted in a final verdict, once the appeals process has been exhausted. That could take years. In two cases in the 1990s, the Supreme Court ruled that an ordinary minister and a deputy minister must be fired immediately upon being charged. After two inconclusive elections and months of political paralysis in Israel, the house committee is currently not functioning - and may not resume work for months, until another election is held and a government formed. This may delay the entire judicial process.
