0:42Now PlayingIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday he would accept any court's decision into corruption charges filed against him.
But in a Facebook video posted on his page, Netanyahu also repeated calls for law enforcement officials to be investigated for their conduct in his case.
He said he would always work within the framework of the rule of law.
"Whoever didn't act in accordance with the law, in the police or the state prosecutor, it needs to be looked into, dealt with and corrected," Netanyahu added.
The serious corruption charges announced Thursday appear to have dashed already slim hopes for a unity government following September's elections, paving the way for an unprecedented repeat vote in March, which will be the third in less than a year.
Netanyahu is not legally required to step down as prime minister, but he faces heavy pressure to do so, and it is unclear whether an indicted politician could be given the mandate to form a new government.
Netanyahu has already failed to form a majority coalition of 61 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, the Israeli legislature, after two hard-fought elections this year.
