Netanyahu in secret meeting on bad-boy MK, report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has held a secret meeting with top Likud party officials on how to deal with MK Oren Hazan after a judge determined the scandal-plagued lawmaker took hard drugs prior to his election to the Knesset, Channel 2 reports.
The meeting was held last night in Netanyahu’s office, Channel 2 says. No decisions were made but participants discussed the political ramifications of ousting Hazan.
A judge ruled Tuesday that a 2015 investigative TV report alleging Hazan had hired prostitutes for his friends and taken crystal meth in 2013 while managing a casino in Bulgaria amounted to “responsible, serious journalism and reflected the reality as it was.”
