Questionable motives
I have to wonder about the timing of the investigation against the Israeli Prime-Minister, and the fact that the exclusive details were published at no other than the tabloid that is well known as a neo-con friendly. It is possible, of course, that for no apparent reason a person will decide to collaborate with the Israeli police about a bribe he gave about 15-20 years ago to the Mayor of Jerusalem. It is also possible that the newspaper that Israeli sources, that wanted to bypass the court decision, leaked the information was the NY tabloid and not more respectful newspaper. It is possible but how likely?
It is also possible that some neo-conservative groups, that are well known for their ties with the Likud party, take advantage on the opportunity to help their darling Netanyahu to get another chance as the Israeli Prime-Minister. It is also possible, and not unlikely, that those interest groups might want to complete the move before the summer so they can promote a move against Iran with much more susceptible leader in Jerusalem?
As for the Israelis, they need to choose which devil is the least worse - not a pleasant task at all.
