Kahlon says Netanyahu cannot stay in office if indicted

Finance Minister and Kulanu party chairman Moshe Kahlon says that Netanyahu cannot continue serving as prime minister if he is indicted on corruption-related charges.

“There is one person and there is one law, a law stating that the attorney general decides whether an indictment will be filed,” Kalhon says in an interview with Hadashot news. “The prime minister will not be able to continue serving as prime minister under an indictment.

“This was my position three months ago, and it is still my answer in the studio today,” he tells the TV news station.
