Channel 12 cites an unnamed Israeli official who says that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be questioned by police as part of their ongoing investigation into allegedly illicit ties between the premier’s aides and Qatar.

To date, only Netanyahu’s aides have been arrested and questioned as suspects in the joint police-Shin Bet investigation, but the official says Netanyahu should be brought in for interrogation as well, with another source telling Channel 12 that the prime minister should be questioned under caution.
