Gabbay calls on Netanyahu to resign and fight charges as private citizen

Labor leader Avi Gabbay calls on Prime Minister Netanyahu to resign in light of the expected announcement of bribery and breach of trust charges against him, pending a hearing.

“This is a black day for the state, when a prime minister is accused of grave corruption,” Gabbay says at a local leaders conference in Tel Aviv.

“The prime minister is a symbol of the state, don’t embarrass the citizens of Israel,” he adds. “You deserve to fight to clear your name, but not from the Prime Minister’s Residence.”
