Netanyahu rejects graft accusations as ‘witch hunt intended to topple government’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office rejects media reports that he is suspected of “bribery, fraud and breach of trust” in two graft investigations, dubbed “Case 1000” and “Case 2000,” according to Hebrew-language outlets quoting a police gag-order request Thursday.
“We reject utterly the disingenuous claims being made against the prime minister,” a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office says, adding, “The witch hunt intended to topple the government is at its peak, but it is doomed to failure for a simple reason: nothing will come of this because nothing happened.”
