The head of the Israel Bar Association is planning to resign in the next few days, the Haaretz daily says, after a television report accused him of performing an incident sexual act in front of a young female lawyer during a video chat.
Citing sources close to Avi Himi, the newspaper says he will not take part in an event tonight for lawyers who recently passed the bar.
