Like past allegations, probe will find nothing — PM

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubles down on denials of wrongdoing in the graft case.

“Bibitours — nothing! A claim of illicit campaign funding — nothing! A claim of skewing primary results — nothing! A claim of receiving gifts abroad and funding for flights — nothing!” the prime minister writes on Facebook, listing past allegations against him.

“Years of daily persecution against me and my family have been confirmed yesterday as having been nothing,” the prime minister says. He is referring to a statement from the attorney general clarifying that these four issues were part of the initial probe into the prime minister, but have since been closed due to lack of evidence.

“Will someone in the media apologize for the thousands of headlines, hours of broadcasting ‘investigative journalism at its best’ that have turned out to be total nonsense? Certainly not [Channel 10 reporter Raviv] Drucker.”

“I repeat: There will be nothing — because there isn’t anything,” he says of the ongoing investigation.
