Knesset Speaker must convene committee to deny Netanyahu immunity

The tensely awaited opinion of the Knesset’s Legal Adviser, Eyal Yinon, released on Sunday afternoon, obliges the Speaker to convene a committee in response to opposition demands for a session to withhold the immunity from prosecution on corruption charges requested by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

    This is exceedingly good news and prosecution of Netanyahu must proceed apace. Tomorrow is not too early to start and a decision should be able to be reached with a initial vote

      And it’s not only Israel that’s going to get him the Mueller report is being unredacted and Netanyahu Kushner UN 2334 crimes as well as netanyahu’s orders to Joel Zamel/PsyGroup which successfully stole the 2016 election from codename Forest Hillary and codenamed Bear Ted Cruz and gave it to code name Lion Trump.
