Prime Minister Netanyahu could face up to ten years in prison, after the Israeli Attorney General decided to indict him on corruption charges
At that hearing - which could take place after the April 9 election - Netanyahu can try to persuade the attorney-general, Avichai Mandelblit, not to indict him.
"It's not up to the civil servants. It's not up to the television studios. It's not up to the pundits and journalists." Israel's shekel weakened against the dollar on the news. It was trading at 3.63 per dollar at 1620 GMT, from 3.6240 before the announcement and down 0.4 percent versus the U.S. currency from Wednesday.
Yohanan Plesner, president of the non-partisan Israel Democracy Institute, said he did not expect a dramatic shift in public opinion against Netanyahu.
