Meretz says it will call urgent Knesset meeting to discuss charges against PM

Opposition party Meretz says it will call an urgent Knesset plenum discussion, despite the parliament currently being on hiatus, on the expected announcement of corruption charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pending a hearing.

“A prime minister cannot serve with an indictment against him,” party leader Tamar Zandberg says. “Meretz will hold a special discussion and commits to presenting a bill at the beginning of the next Knesset session forcing a prime minister to take a leave of absence if formally charged.”
