One of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s top coalition partners, Kulanu chief and finance minister Moshe Kahlon, is among the first coalition party chiefs to speak openly about the explosive revelations surrounding the Bezeq graft probe.
The latest allegations “cast a dark and unpleasant shadow” over the coalition, Kahlon said in a speech in Migdal Haemek Wednesday.
But, he added, “we’re a nation of laws, and the law says there’s only one person in the state of Israel authorized to indict a prime minister, and that’s the attorney general.”
Kulanu would not take any steps out of the coalition until the attorney general gave his decision in the case, Kahlon said, in what amounts to a welcome political boost to the embattled Netanyahu.
