Netanyahu dismisses questions about police probe
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu declines to answer a question during Prime Minister’s Question Time on whether he will resign if indicted in one of the two criminal investigations currently opened against him.
The question was asked by MK Tamar Zandberg from Meretz, who quoted Netanyahu himself saying years ago then-prime minister Ehud Olmert could no longer serve as premier due to investigations against him.
Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein says the prime minister does not have to answer questions that do not relate to government activities.
Netanyahu also declines to answer questions on whether gifts he received from billionaire Arnon Milchan or his relationship with lawyer David Shimron constitute a conflict of interest.
