Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was called to testify in his ongoing corruption trial after the arrest of an aide amid controversy surrounding Qatar ties. Netanyahu's Likud party condemned the arrest as politically motivated, claiming it represents a 'witch hunt' against a right-wing leader. While facing allegations of bribery and other crimes, Netanyahu maintains he is a witness in the case and denies any wrongdoing, asserting that law enforcement's actions threaten democracy. The situation reflects escalating scrutiny of Netanyahu's management in Gaza and has drawn significant media attention.
"This is not an investigation. This is not law enforcement; this is an assassination attempt on democracy and an effort to replace the will of the people with the rule of bureaucrats."
Netanyahu described the arrest of his adviser as a 'new low in the political witch hunt aimed at toppling a right-wing prime minister.'
The proceedings against Netanyahu, Urich and another individual involve serious allegations of contact with a foreign agent, bribes, fraud, breach of trust, and money laundering.
Despite the allegations, Netanyahu continues to deny any wrongdoing, claiming the actions of law enforcement are politically motivated.
