Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Thursday that he will resign from all of his ministerial posts by January. Netanyahu currently holds the health, welfare, agriculture and diaspora affairs portfolios.
Three weeks ago, Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announced that Netanyahu’s indictment for bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three corruption inquiries. Following that announcement, The Movement for Quality Government, an Israeli nonprofit and leading public petitioner to Israel’s Supreme Court, launched a petition demanding that Netanyahu vacate his ministerial posts, resign as prime minister and appoint replacements.
Though not expected to resign from his role as prime minister, Netanyahu agreed to resign from his ministerial posts following the petition. His attorneys noted, however, that he is not required to do so under Israeli law unless he is convicted an all appeals exhausted.
The Movement for Quality Government claimed that the prime minister “knowingly violated the law for weeks” by announcing his resignation only after their petition was launched.
Netanyahu is the first Israeli leader to face criminal charges while in office.

This was clearly a witch-hunt against the right-wing Prime Minister, just like the Left in the US against President Trump. But the Left in Israel and Mossad have more power than the Left in the US and the Deep State. In the US, if not for the Patriots, Q and White Hats who are working very hard behind the scenes to help Trump drain the filthy swamp, the first legally elected right-wing President Trump would have been long thrown off the chair.
Exactly true.
