Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was formally indicted on Tuesday on corruption charges. Shortly before the indictment, Netanyahu withdrew his request for parliamentary immunity from prosecution. Israel's attorney-general filed the charges in a Jerusalem court. As proceedings move toward trial, the timeline remains unclear, and it could take months or years. The veteran right-winger and Israel's longest-serving prime minister is under no legal obligation to resign.
