Police will summon former Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman for questioning for alleged threats against the prime minister, after the former said during a TV interview that he had information that would compromise the prime minister and threatened to make it public if Netanyahu breaks the law.

He did not make clear what acts he was speaking of, but was apparently referring to what he alleges are efforts by Netanyahu to subvert the rule of law through legislation and the dismissal of various gatekeepers, including current Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.

Benjamin Netanyahu filed a complaint with police alleging that Argaman was “threatening and blackmailing a sitting prime minister.”
