TEL AVIV - Several thousand Israelis rallied on Tuesday in support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he faces the gravest threat to his political survival after corruption charges and two failed elections.
Netanyahu was charged on Thursday with bribery, fraud and breach of trust. He denies wrongdoing in all three of the criminal cases and has cast the investigations against him as an attempted coup aimed at ousting a popular right-wing leader. Netanyahu’s centrist rival Benny Gantz, who heads the Blue and White party said on Twitter: “In a healthy democracy, a prime minister does not organize a demonstration against the justice system.”
