Israel’s longest-serving prime minister said in a statement that the immunity proceedings in parliament would have been a “circus” and he did not want to take part in this “dirty game”. The case now moves towards trial, a process that could take months or years. The right-winger, who faces a national election in March, is under no legal obligation to resign.

Israel’s attorney-general Avichai Mandelblit indicted Netanyahu on corruption charges — the first of their kind against a serving Israeli prime minister — last November following a long-running investigation. The charges included bribery, breach of trust and fraud.
