(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said he will resign from all ministerial positions by Jan. 1, 2020, but stressed he has no intention of stepping down as premier.
The decision, filed with the High Court of Justice, followed a petition by the Movement for Quality Government, demanding that Netanyahu, who is facing a corruption indictment, vacates all his posts.
Netanyahu currently holds the health, welfare, agriculture, and Diaspora affairs portfolios. He is expected to appoint ministers for these posts until the March 2, 2020 elections conclude and a new government is sworn in. [ Source: Israel Hayom (Read More…) ]
