Israel’s attorney general has announced that his office plans to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on corruption charges after a two-year investigation. The prime minister faces one count of bribery and three counts of breach of trust.

“The Attorney General, Avihai Mandelblit, has informed the Prime Minister, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, through his attorney, that he is considering indicting him on several criminal charges,” according to a statement by Ministry of Justice spokesman Adi Livni.

Prosecutors would have to go forward with a pre-indictment hearing before Netanyahu is formally charged.

With Israeli elections just six weeks away, Netanyahu called the prosecution’s announcement “outrageous” and an “unprecedented witch hunt” carried out by his liberal opponents.

Police had already previously recommended indicting Netanyahu for bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three different cases. The most serious allegations against Netanyahu involve his relationship with Shaul Elovitch, the controlling shareholder of Israel’s telecom giant Bezeq.

Police recommended an indictment in the case based on evidence collected that confidants of Netanyahu promoted regulatory changes worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Bezeq. In exchange, they believe Netanyahu used his connections with Elovitch to receive positive press coverage on Bezeq’s popular subsidiary news site, Walla.

Police have said their investigation concluded that Netanyahu and Elovitch engaged in a “bribe-based relationship.”

Netanyahu, 69, who is serving his third consecutive term as prime minister and his fourth overall, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing

For Biblical prophecy fulfillment there must eventually be a government realized in Israel that is open to serious negotiations for a Mid-East agreement that brings to realization Daniel’s 70th Week and other prophecies, restarting Israel’s prophetic timeline and starting the prophetic clock for the world’s final 7 years at the end of this age.
