As corruption allegations pile up against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, five possible scenarios have emerged regarding his political future: resignation, coalition collapse, snap elections, cabinet reshuffle or fresh military conflict.

After a 14-month investigation into two separate fraud charges, Israeli police recommended earlier this month that Netanyahu be indicted for bribery and breach of trust.

He also faces questioning in two other cases, putting him in an even worse position and opening the door to speculation about his political fate.

"The noose is tightening around the prime minister's neck," Israeli writer and researcher Antoine Shalhat told Anadolu Agency.
