New York: Israel’s intelligence minister Israel Katz said Thursday he plans to succeed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is embroiled in corruption scandals and a police investigation.
Israeli police have questioned Netanyahu six times over a pair of corruption scandals and one of his closest former aides has become a witness against him.
Police say they suspect Netanyahu of being involved in bribery, fraud and breach of trust. The scandals have yet to threaten his rule but have chipped away at his public approval ratings.
