  He doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. That's the obligation of the state prosecution and they don't have a case.

Is this a joke? It appears that in Israel it takes years to sweep the dirt under the rug---it must be because the rug has long been saturated. One obvious suggestion is: buy another rug.

An independant judge should have made the judgement. Serving politicians get away with murder but it all comes to light when they are out of office. Would this case be another one of those?
