Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was indicted on Thursday for alleged "systematic fraud" involving hundreds of thousands of shekels in connection with meal expenses incurred at the Prime Minister's Residence.
Sara Netanyahu was charged along with Ezra Saidoff, a former deputy director general of the Prime Minister's Office. The two are charged in an indictment filed at the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court with aggravated fraudulent receiving of an item or items, fraud and breach of trust. Saidoff was also charged with falsification by a public servant.
According to the indictment, Sara Netanyahu instructed staff at the Prime Minister's Residence in Jerusalem to order meals consumed at the residence worth a total of 350,000 shekels ($96,000) from gourmet restaurants between 2010 and 2013 in violation of rules barring the residence from ordering meals from the outside during periods when the residence had a cook on its staff.
Investigators in the case gathered evidence that purportedly shows that the prime minister's wife ordered that the employment of cook at the residence be concealed and that she was aware that ordering meals from the outside for the residence when it employed a cook was a violation of the rules.

No offense, but I'm starting to wonder about the Israeli electorate.
We have crooks, but we generally don't RE-elect them. 
as the examples you've given here.
In any case, I'd say YOU are "stuck with Nixon" since, as President, he is the ONLY equivalent to an Israeli Prime Minister you can cite here -- Sorry, again. 
So much for 'expectations' and 'wild guesses', I guess.

Like Bibi..
term that he was involved in illegal activities.
Also, Nixon wasn't the only example I gave.
It is obvious that in your view that Israel is the only country whose electorate who re-elects corrupt politicians, because obviously, the U.S electorate would never stoop to something so low.
Hell, Reagan would have been elected to a third term if it was legal, even after Iran Contra.
Sorry, one, but you'll have to do better than that here..Try something called "documentation".
No "criminal acts" were known before Watergate, and the only thing that seems "obvious" here is your determination to not let facts get in the way of a good "America bad" pout.
Have a nice one.
