Organizers of Saturday night’s mass anti-corruption rally in Tel Aviv are claiming credit for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announcing on Sunday that he is taking steps to have the so-called “Recommendation Bill,” the proposed legislation that would bar police from making public their recommendations on whether to prosecute sitting prime ministers, not apply to the current cases against him. Israeli from all political persuasions have criticized the bill as being anti-democratic. The bill in its original form has already passed its first of three required readings and votes by the parliament. In addition to two investigations which many believe will result in indictments, a number of Netanyahu confidants are also under investigation for corruption.
