The police have recommended PM Benjamin Netanyahu be indicted for bribery in "Case 4000". By law Netanyahu does not need to resign. Definitely at least not until there is an actual indictment, which remains to be seen...
That being said, this case does not change my opinion, whether Bibi is indicted or not. As good a Prime Minister as he might have been (and everybody can decide that for himself or herself), I think Israel needs term limits and that Netanyahu should not be eligible to run again anyway.
So, if he is indicted, morally he should step down. If he is not indicted, he should not be able to run again anyway.
Even if he were the greatest Prime Minister ever, no term limits is bad and makes him feel like he owns the position and become somewhat dictatorial and corrupt. Some say there is nobody who can replace him - there is always someone who can replace the person everyone thinks is irreplaceable. Nobody is irreplaceable. There was an Israel, with Prime Ministers, before Netanyahu, and there will be after Netanyahu as well.
