Netanyahu‘s Centrist Coalition Partner Risks Being Torn Apart Over Criminal Probes Against Him

Finance Minister and Kulanu party leader Moshe Kahlon is deeply concerned about the recommendations that the police are expected to make shortly over whether to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in two pending criminal investigations. Kahlon understands that, if there is a recommendation to indict the prime minister, Knesset members from centrist Kulanu party could bolt the government coalition in protest at government corruption, Kahlon‘s associates have told Haaretz.
