JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fallen behind his main challenger in opinion polls ahead of next week’s Israeli election but still has an easier path to form a government that would keep him in power for a record fifth term.
And looming criminal indictments against Netanyahu, who has denied any wrongdoing in three cases of alleged bribery and fraud, could cloud his political future and that of any government he might head, possibly leading to a new election. Israel’s president, Reuven Rivlin, will consult with the leaders of every party represented in parliament and choose whoever he believes has the best chance of forming a coalition. The nominee has up to 42 days to form a government before the president asks another politician to try.
“On Tuesday, everything you see here in this country will shift,” Gantz told a rally in Kiryat Ekron. “Netanyahu’s supreme and indeed only imperative will be to cobble together an indictment coalition: one that will make it possible for him to continue to serve even after the hearing and after he’s indicted,” political analyst Yossi Verter wrote in the liberal Israeli daily Ha’aretz on Friday.
Netanyahu has cast Gantz, a former military chief, as a weak leftist who would endanger Israel’s security by giving territorial concessions to the Palestinians.
The corrupt dictator, Netanyahu, should resign. Israel need‘s a Prime Minister who is trustworthy and accountable to the people. That is not Netanyahu.
Netanyahu is a dictator leading Israel into an apartheid... He must be defeated! A very unethical man. FireNetanyahu

U.N. Watchdog Inspects a Site Flagged as Suspicious by Israelis—but Possibly Too LateThe United Nations’ atomic agency has heeded calls by the U.S. and Israel to inspect a site that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last fall was housing Iranian nuclear equipment and material, according to officials familiar with the agency’s work. More likely that Netanyahu is a liar and will say anything to provoke war against Iran. How naive is he...? Why has the UN lost another opportunity to do well its job ?! Who in their right mind would expect UN would do something to Iran (or any other Islamic nations for that matter)?!
