Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed recommendations to indict him on corruption charges, saying the allegations are “full of holes like Swiss cheese”.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists his coalition government remains stable and he will continue to govern despite police recommendations he be indicted for bribery in two investigations, including one that allegedly involves Australian mogul James Packer.
“I want to reassure you, the coalition is stable. No one, not I, not anyone else, has plans to go to an election. We will continue to work with you for the good of Israel’s citizens until the end of the term,” Netanyahu said at a conference in Tel Aviv on Wednesday.
“After reading the recommendations report, I can say that it is a biased, extreme document full of holes, like Swiss cheese.
“I am certain, as I have always been certain, and nothing has changed, that the truth will come to light and nothing will come of this.”
His remarks came the morning after Israeli police made public their recommendations.
