Netanyahu derides ex-adviser turning state’s witness

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismisses the police announcement that his former adviser Nir Hefetz has agreed to turn state’s witness in the Bezeq graft probe, saying it proves “there is nothing.”

“When there is something [you] don’t need even one state’s witness. When there is [something], not even a thousand state’s witnesses will help,” sources close to Netanyahu are quoted as saying.

“The unending race after state’s witnesses is the best proof that there is nothing — and won’t be anything.”
