The allegations facing Israeli PM BenjaminNetanyahu ahead of elections
JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking re-election on April 9 under threat of charges of corruption, fraud and breach of trust.
Another involves Mr Netanyahu allegedly seeking a secret deal with the publisher of Israel's top-selling newspaper Yediot Aharonot to ensure positive coverage in return for pushing forward a law that would have limited the circulation of a rival paper. Mr Netanyahu says he did nothing improper, sold the stock before the submarine sale and reported it to the relevant authorities.
Before the formal indictments, however, there will be a hearing after the elections but before July 10 in which Mr Netanyahu will be given the chance to defend himself.
