Bibi Questioned for the 7th Time in Ongoing Graft Probes

Local Editor

Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be questioned for the seventh time on Friday, in two graft probes investigating corruption charges against him.

The interrogation will be the seventh round of questioning in several ongoing probes against the premier, dubbed Case 1000 and Case 2000.

Case 1000 centers on suspicions that Netanyahu received gifts such as expensive champagne and cigars from wealthy businessmen including film producer Arnon Milchan and Australian casino mogul James Packer.

In Case 2000, police are reportedly examining conversations with newspaper proprietor Noni Mozes, leaked excerpts of which were sensationally broadcast on ‘Israeli' television earlier this year, which revealed a quid pro quo' arrangement with the Yedioth Ahronoth publisher to limit circulation of the newspaper's main rival in exchange for more favorable coverage

In early August, state prosecutors clinched a deal with Netanyahu's former chief of ‘Israeli' military Ari Harow to act as a state witness.

Netanyahu has repeatedly denied the charges.

The investigations stirred Zionist politics and led to speculation over whether Netanyahu will eventually be forced to step down.
