Israeli police have recommended indicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for bribery. This could be the biggest challenge to the right-wing leader's political survival.

A police statement says there's enough evidence to charge Netanyahu in two separate cases. He is accused of receiving gifts worth at least 280 thousand US dollars and offering political favors in exchange for positive coverage. The 68-year-old has denied the allegations, rubbishing them as baseless. He has vowed to complete his fourth term as prime minister. A final decision on whether Netanyahu should face charges falls on the attorney general's office but that decision could take months to reach.
