In an earthquake development on the "Israeli" political front, premier Benjamin Netanyahu has been caught on tape offering commercial favors to a newspaper owner in return for more positive coverage.

Netanyahu’s Scandal: Pressure Grows as ’Earthquake’ Tape Leaked

The "Israeli" Prime Minister, who is being investigated for alleged corruption offences, is said to have been recorded proposing a commercially beneficial deal to Arnon Mozes, the owner of one of the apartheid entity's biggest newspapers, Yedioth Ahronoth.

He has denied any wrongdoing.

"Israel's" Channel Two television station revealed Netanyahu had offered to reduce the circulation of "Israel" Hayom, a pro-Netanyahu newspaper that is owned by US billionaire and Republican Party donor Sheldon Adelson, if Mozes instructed Yedioth Ahronoth to be more favorable towards the Prime Minister.

Cutting the circulation of "Israel" Hayom, which is distributed free of charge, would be of clear benefit to Mozes because it is the main competitor of his newspaper in the battle for advertising revenues.

The conversation is reported to have taken place several months ago, although the precise date is unknown. Reports suggest the recording was made by Mozes.

Netanyahu is already under investigation for alleged corruption relating to receiving illegal gifts and donations. He has disputed the allegations and his lawyer said receiving gifts from friends is not illegal.

Bibi is accused of accepting thousands of pounds worth of gift from "Israeli" billionaire Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan. Reports suggest Netanyahu lobbied US Secretary of State John Kerry on Milchan's behalf while the producer was attempting to acquire a new US visa.

Netanyahu has denied the allegations. Sources said he told his ministers: "This is wrong, incessant pressure from the media on law enforcement. They release balloons and the hot air comes out of them time after time. That will be the case here too."

The "Israeli" Prime Minister has been interviewed twice by police in the last week and is reported to have been surprised by the evidence against him.

"He didn't expect it", a source who knows the Prime Minister well told website Haaretz.
