Shaked says PM doesn’t have to resign unless indicted

Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked tells Channel 2 that Netanyahu is not legally obligated to resign unless he is convicted of a criminal offense.

If Netanyahu is indicted for corruption-related offenses, Shaked says “we will examine the charges and make a decision.”

The prime minister is being investigated for possible breach of trust and bribe-taking in two separate corruption investigations.
