Israel police recommend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be charged with bribery

Israeli police are recommending bribery and fraud charges be brought against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife in the third corruption scandal to engulf the Israeli leader.

Authorities said Sunday that they have evidence that Netanyahu made regulatory decisions that favored Bezeq telecommunications group in exchange for positive coverage on its news website, Walla. Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing.

The decision of whether to charge Netanyahu rests with Israel’s attorney general, who is still deliberating on whether to indict the prime minister in two other cases.

What does "most farmers go under" mean?

I do Ag related work and farmers don't seem to be saying they're going under. Similar year to the last few. Prices are down obviously... but good yields in central Illinois. Most have crop insurance that mitigate some of the risk and uncertainty.

More broadly, America’s small farmers have been struggling for decades, with agricultural monopolies controlling ever-larger shares of the market. But the crisis now looks more widespread, as tariffs introduce new economic burdens to farmers. As global demand dropped, many U.S. farmers were forced to let their crops rot in their fields.
