Israel's Attorney General has charged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in connection with three separate cases.

Netanyahu is alleged to have accepted gifts from wealthy businessmen and dispensed favours to try to get more positive press coverage.

Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing and said he is the victim of a "witch-hunt" by his left-wing opponents and the media.

He has also insisted he will not resign and is not legally obliged to do so.
