Israeli FM Avigdor Lieberman Charged With Breach of Trust
The Israeli Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, has been charged with breach of trust in connection with a long-running financial scandal.
But Mr Lieberman has been cleared of more serious offences, including money-laundering and bribery.
The charge against one of the most powerful politicians in Israel comes six weeks before a general election.
Opposition parties had called for Mr Lieberman’s resignation if he was indicted on any of the charges.
