MK Cabel grilled for 4 hours as a suspect in Netanyahu probe

MK Eitan Cabel of the opposition Zionist Union faction emerges from a police interrogation after four hours.

Cabel was questioned under caution, along with Arnon Mozes, publisher of the Yedioth Ahronoth daily and the Ynet news site, in connection with so-called Case 2000, which involves the suspicion that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered to legislatively hobble the Israel Hayom daily in exchange for positive coverage from Mozes.

Mozes and Cabel reportedly were asked to respond to new information given to police by a former top Netanyahu adviser, Nir Hefetz, who has turned state’s witness in the case.
