Former Defense Minister Ehud Barak responded to the indictment filed against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
“A sad day and the start of a 'repair'. Netanyahu should resign immediately. Otherwise, he will stain himself forever and will not receive the compassion he deserves," said Barak.
He called for the creation of a government led by Benny Gantz, "possibly with the Likud led by whoever is elected. Mandelblit, despite all the criticism, even from me, showed a backbone, respect. Israel has taken a big step forward in formulating proper governance norms,” he added.
