Legal woes facing Netanyahu as opposition readies to unseat him

If ousted, the veteran prime minister would lose the ability to change Israel's basic laws in order curb the power of courts and might face a prison sentence of up to 13 years for corruption, fraud and breach of trust

Netanyahu, 71, was formally charged in 2019 over allegations he accepted improper gifts and sought to trade regulatory favors with media moguls in exchange for positive coverage.
He is also accused of accepting cigars, champagne and jewelry worth 700,000 shekels (180,000 euros) from wealthy personalities in exchange for favors. Netanyahu says there is no problem with receiving gifts from friends, and denies having acted inappropriately in return.
