Israeli interior minister steps down over sex scandal

‘The Israeli interior minister and vice-premier has resigned over a sexual harassment scandal.

Silvan Shalom, a top politician in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, announced his decision in a statement released on Sunday, saying he had resigned “out of a feeling of having a mission and a desire to advance social and public issues of the utmost importance,” the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
