Police recommended Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stand trial for bribery in a third corruption case, delivering another blow to the embattled leader as his government barely clings to power.
Israeli investigators said they had amassed more evidence that the prime minister traded influence for favors, this time in a case involving the country’s largest telecommunications carrier. Netanyahu, who just two weeks ago brought his coalition from the brink of collapse after a junior partner bolted, denied any wrongdoing.
