Israel's Lieberman Says Does Not Have To Resign After Indictment

JERUSALEM | Thu Dec 13, 2012 1:29pm EST
Dec 13 (Reuters) - Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Thursday he did not have to resign after being charged with fraud and breach of trust, but added he would further study the indictment against him.
