Israel's attorney general intends to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on corruption charges.
Avichai Mandelblit said Mr Netanyahu would face charges of bribery and breach of trust in connection with three cases, pending a final hearing.
The prime minister is alleged to have accepted gifts from wealthy businessmen and dispensed favours to try to get more positive press coverage.
Mr Netanyahu, who is facing an election in April, has denied any wrongdoing.
He has said he is the victim of a left-wing "witch-hunt" intended to topple him ahead of the closely contested election on 9 April.
Mr Netanyahu is due to make a statement at 20:00 local time (18:00 GMT).
