Israel's attorney general announced Thursday he intended to indict <a href="http://www.wionews.com/sports/israel-polls-pm-benjamin-netanyahu-challengers-form-alliance-198713">Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu</a> on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, just weeks ahead of April elections.

The attorney general confirmed in a statement that he intended to charge the premier pending a hearing, where <a href="http://www.wionews.com/opinions/love-him-or-loathe-him-israeli-election-is-all-about-benjamin-netanyahu-197372">Netanyahu</a> would be given a chance to defend himself before charges are filed.

The actual filing of the reported charges&nbsp;will depend on the outcome of a required hearing - likely after the April 9 election - where Netanyahu can try to persuade the attorney-general not to indict him. Netanyahu, who is seeking a fourth consecutive term, denies any wrongdoing.

His right-wing Likud party described the reported charges as "political persecution". It said the prime minister, who has vowed not to resign over the allegations, was due to deliver a statement at 8 pm (1800 GMT).
