Zionist Union MKs demand PM resign in the wake of indictment recommendation

Zionist Union MK Shelly Yachimovich demands Netanyahu step down after police recommend he be indicted for bribery in both of the corruption cases against him.

“A corrupt tyrant with no restraint, whom the police ask to have accused of the most serious crimes of corruption, announces that he’s not going,” she tweets, after Netanyahu asserted the recommendations to indict him on corruption charges “will end with nothing.”

“His actions are corrupt and ugly, his behavior is violent and egocentric, he’s prepared to destroy everything so long as he survives,” Yachimovich says. “Go, go, corrupt man. And you, his partners, if you allow him to serve in this nightmare, then the stain of corruption will stick to you forever too.”

Zionist Union’s Eyal Ben-Reuven also calls on Netanyahu to “resign immediately” in the wake of the police recommendations.

“Go your own way, fight for your innocence,” he says. “The state of Israel needs a leader whose hands are clean and who is solely devoted to the affairs of the country.”
