Following businessman David Appel’s indictment for bribing Sharon last Wednesday, Labor leader Shimon Peres formed a task force to examine how to change the law of succession and legally force the prime minister to resign.

Labor MKs Ophir Pines-Paz and Isaac Herzog intend to submit two contradictory bills. The first would force an indicted prime minister to resign, while the second would compel him to suspend himself for a year during the legal proceedings against him and then quit if he has not been cleared within a year. According to the latter proposal, a temporary prime minister would govern in the meantime.
