Netanyahu Pulls Request for Immunity From Prosecution, Setting Up Legal Proceedings

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has withdrawn his request for immunity from prosecution, paving the way for legal proceedings against him to go forward. Netanyahu was indicted on counts of fraud, breach of trust, and bribery in November—he has denied any wrongdoing. Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, was scheduled to meet Tuesday to discuss the prime minister's immunity request and was set to reject it.

But, in a statement issued on his official Facebook page, Netanyahu said he is no longer seeking immunity. “In this fateful hour for the people of Israel, when I am in the United States on a historic mission to design the permanent borders of Israel and ensure our security for decades to come, the Knesset is expected to start another spectacle in the circus of removing immunity,” Netanyahu wrote. The prime minister is in Washington ahead of the launch of President Donald Trump’s proposed Middle East peace plan.
