Netanyahu fires top aide after reported racist remarks

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed his cabinet secretary, Ziv Agmon, after Agmon reportedly made racist remarks about Mizrahi Jews. The move came after pressure from Netanyahu's own Likud party.

Separately, the International Criminal Court prosecutor who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu is facing disciplinary proceedings. In domestic politics, some commentators argue Israel's opposition is helping Netanyahu by focusing on total failure, and that the president should not give him legal immunity.
