Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has authorized police to summon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to provide testimony on allegations relating to his Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman, Channel 12 reports.
The network notes that Netanyahu is not expected to be questioned as a suspect in the case.
Police are looking into claims that Braverman attempted to obstruct an investigation over allegations that he told Eli Feldstein, a former spokesperson for Netanyahu, that he could quash a military investigation into Feldstein over the leak of a classified document to the German newspaper Bild.
Braverman, who was designated to be ambassador to the United Kingdom in September but has yet to take up the post, is currently barred from leaving the country and cannot contact Netanyahu or other officials in the Prime Minister’s Office as conditions for his release from detention.
