Senior police officials reportedly reject Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that he wanted to confront the state’s witnesses and was refused during his interrogation.

“A confrontation would not have facilitated the investigation. We are talking about events that took place over years,” Ynet quotes police officials as saying.

“We have enough evidence and documents to strengthen the evidence in the case. We are not talking about a specific incident at a given time, in a given place, or something similar to someone’s word versus somebody else’s word. A confrontation would not have changed the general picture in this case,” they add, Ynet says.
