Netanyahu ally reportedly acted as ‘switchboard’ between PM, Bezeq owner
An ally of Netanyahu is considered by police to be a key suspect in Case 4000, Hadashot TV news reports.
According to the report, he acted as a “switchboard” between Netanyahu and Shaul Elovitch, the owner of the Walla news site and controlling shareholder of telecommunications giant Bezeq.
Hadashot TV news said Netanyahu also worked to find buyers for Walla on Elovitch’s behalf.
The case centers around suspicions that Elovitch influenced the news site’s coverage of Netanyahu and his family in exchange for the Communications Ministry making decisions that potentially could earn Elovitch substantial sums.
