In an unexpected turn of events, Shlomo Filber, a close confidant of right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Bibi "Bomb Bomb" Netanyahu is cooperating with police in the bribery case against Netanyahu. Filber, the former director of the Communications Ministry, will testify that Israeli's largest telecommunications company Bezeq Telecom received regulatory favors from Netanyahu's government in exchange for favorable coverage of Netanyahu on its media outlets. Filber is the first in Netanyahu's inner circle to break ranks, but may not be the only one. This case is only part of the scandals involving him and bribery and influence peddling.
The next step is for their Attorney-General to decide whether or not to accept the charges against Netanyahu. Not surprisingly, Netanyahu is calling the charges against him a "witch hunt," echoing his best buddy and fellow corrupt right-winger Donald "Rump" Trump's references to Robert Mueller's Russia probe.
