​Israel is reeling from the attorney general's announcement of criminal charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pending a hearing. The shockwaves are still rippling through the political arena and the impact on the April 9 election could be game-changing.

We have to get used to the idea: Netanyahu will be brought to justice. He will sit in the defendant’s box. If he’s convicted of only some of the crimes attributed to him, he’ll go to prison. The attorney general called out Netanyahu: corrupt and corrupting, rotten and baneful. It’s scary to think what Netanyahu would offer his coalition partners in return for a law to prevent him from standing trial. Now that he's cornered, Netanyahu is more dangerous than ever.
