Netanyahu family rejects as ‘absurd’ claim PM’s son suspected of bribery

The Netanyahu family is rejecting as “absurd” a TV report that the prime minister’s son Yair is a suspect in a corruption probe against Benjamin Netanyahu.

“We found a positive story about the dog Kaya on Walla,” the family says in a statement, referring to the family dog that died earlier this year, as well as suspicions that the premier provided financial benefits to the Bezeq Telecommunications company in exchange for positive coverage from the Walla news site.

“Luckily for Kaya, she left this world before she too could be accused of bribery.”
