Netanyahu Requests Immunity From Prosecution Ahead Of Election

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces formal charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three corruption cases. He seeks immunity from prosecution, which requires approval from the Parliament House committee and a full legislature vote. Netanyahu denies wrongdoing, while his political rival Benny Gantz criticizes the immunity request. If granted, immunity would only apply to the current parliament, necessitating a new request after elections. Without immunity, Netanyahu could face up to 10 years in prison for bribery and three years for fraud and breach of trust.
