Netanyahu's Office Faces Allegations of Corruption and Blackmail
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Financial Times

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the media of orchestrating an "organised witch-hunt" against his office amid scandals involving leaked classified documents and alleged blackmail of a military official. Netanyahu claims these attacks aim to weaken his leadership during wartime, dismissing the reports as "fake news." The controversies include arrests related to leaks that allegedly supported Netanyahu's stance against Hamas in hostage negotiations and accusations against his chief of staff, which have been denied as defamatory. Netanyahu criticizes the lack of investigation into other government leaks, suggesting an agenda to weaken the state.
