What's that?

Wow.

It's a terrible, untenable position.

Yeah, there's an ongoing dispute that the Israeli Supreme Court has weighed in on a number of times.

So the minister of justice is appointed, of course, by the prime minister.

But the Supreme Court is independent of the prime minister and the minister of justice.

So the minister of justice says you can't prosecute him while he's prime minister.

And the Supreme Court says, oh, yes, you can, and orders the court then to continue the case.

So if the case is going to be continued, Netanyahu's only viable strategy is delaying tactics.

Appeal after appeal after appeal.

You submit motions on little technical issues.

Maybe you get them to focus on Mrs. Netanyahu, who's also under indictment, and you just delay it as long as you can.

But the best argument that he has is I can't focus on my own defense because I have a war to prosecute.

Well, if there's peace, then he's going to have to go on trial.

Isn't it, though?

Strange situation.

Oh, you're exactly right.

In fact, in August, we saw the biggest protests in American history.

I'm sorry, in Israeli history, demanding that Netanyahu resign.

And it was all because of corruption.
