Netanyahu will be forced to give up ministerial portfolios due to indictment
Now that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces formal indictment, he will have to give up the other ministerial portfolios he holds.
Netanyahu is currently health minister, welfare minister and diaspora minister. Until recently, he also served as defense minister and previously he also held the foreign affairs portfolio, among others.
Israeli law requires a minister to step down if charged with a criminal offense, but not the prime minister.
