Netanyahu confidant says Likud united behind prime minister

Science Minister Ofir Akunis says the Likud party is united in its support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after police recommended he be indicted for bribery.

“These are challenging times, not only for the prime minister, but for the entire party,” he says at a gathering of Likud activists in Haifa.

“The Likud unequivocally stands behind Netanyahu, and supports him against these attempts to oust him and his government through non-electoral means,” added Akunis.
