Three weeks ago, Netanyahu appealed to Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein to request immunity from prosecution in cases 1000, 2000 and 4000, in which he was indicted for bribery, fraud and breach of trust.

Netanyahu opened his request for immunity by requesting "to uphold the democratic process and respect the will of the voters."
