Won't 'Blue and White' win the snap elections (considering that they tied Bibi last time around, and now he should be less popular after these new accusations)?He'll torch the country before he goes.
Looking at polls, they may get a few more votes or a few less, but you still need to form a coalition and Bibi's got a stronger base. Plus, he'll stop at nothing. He's fighting for his freedom here.Won't 'Blue and White' win the snap elections (considering that they tied Bibi last time around, and now he should be less popular after these new accusations)?
His predecessor spent time in prison on corruption charges. Not sure how they compare to what Netanyahu faces in terms of seriousness but the precedent is there.This looks of course really bad but I‘d be surprised to learn that corruption isn‘t quid pro quo in Israel so you couldn‘t make a legal case with that.

Why not? Isn't this a step in the right direction?And yet, nothing will change,
The law in Israel doesn't force a PM to resign until he's convicted. And that's still far, far away.Why not? Isn't this a step in the right direction?

Not FULL Trump, but close to it, blaming the police and people in the general attorney office for trying to oust him.Let's see if Israel actually has a functioning system of accountability I guess. Has he gone full Trump yet?
I'm definitely no fan of Israel, but one thing they don't feck about with is corruption. They've jailed senior former ministers in the past. I think we've all just grown cynical watching the Republicans in the US make a mockery of the justice system.Let's see if Israel actually has a functioning system of accountability I guess.

Our legal system doesn't feck about with corruption. A former PM and former president were also jailed. Problem is the 10 years of Netanyahu's regime allowed him much power within his group of followers in the right-wing parties and voters. He probably won't have the power to somehow get out of it without a trial, but with the political situation right now - he can delay a decision for years and years.I'm definitely no fan of Israel, but one thing they don't feck about with is corruption.

Looking at Sa’ar, this could be one of those “careful what you wish for” moments.Yes...yes. Stick the knife in.
He really is. Having said that, anything and anyone that would help release the system from Netanyahu will be a blessing, in hope he doesn't last too long.Looking at Sa’ar, this could be one of those “careful what you wish for” moments.
And yet, almost none of them are doing anything more. Many would love to see the back of Netanyahu, but hope it just happens without their involvement.Tweet

Also saw reports that some of the Likud heavy-hitters basically made the “I’d love to attend but I’m washing my hair tonight” excuse.
