Israel's attorney general has charged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with bribery, fraud and breach of trust in connection with three separate cases, APA reports citing BBC.

Mr Netanyahu is alleged to have accepted gifts from wealthy businessmen and dispensed favours to try to get more positive press coverage.

He denies wrongdoing and says he is the victim of a "witch hunt" by his left-wing opponents and the media.

He has insisted he will not resign and is not legally obliged to do so.
