Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is having a very bad week.

On Thursday, the man who will lead his party into this April’s general election met a prosecutor’s decision to indict him in relation to three separate corruption cases. Netanyahu came out swinging against all the charges, saying they are politically motivated and without merit. Still, there’s no question that the prime minister is in a newly precarious position. Although court proceedings are likely a year away at least, Netanyahu’s credibility has taken a hit.
