Charged with bribery, Israel's PM intends to go down fighting—even if this means what little trust Israelis have in the rule of law along the way.

The story of Israel is full of political drama. However, when the history of this period is written, November 21st 2019 will go down as one of the country's most dramatic days. The day began with a meeting between Israeli President Reuven"Ruvi" Rivlin and Speaker of the Knesset Yuli Edelstein.

The midday meeting at the President's house, however, was only the beginning. Rumors had begun to circulate that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit would release his final decision on whether to indict Netanyahu that same day.

The three cases are what have been designated case as 1000, 2000, and 4,000. In Case 1000, Netanyahu has been charged with breach of trust for accepting over $250,000 in cigars, champagne, and jewellery from billionaires Arnon Milchan and James Packer. According to the indictment, the gifts were specifically requested by Netanyahu, and in turn, Netanyahu procured various favors for Milchan. Under Israeli law, a government official is prohibited from receiving gifts.
