Police to question PM for third time in graft probes

Netanyahu will be questioned for the third time tomorrow by police investigating corruption allegations against him, Channel 2 says.

Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Arnon Mozes was questioned today for sixth time as part of the investigation into suspicions that he and Netanyahu discussed how to reduce the newspaper’s hostility to the prime minister in order to help ensure he retained power.

Under the alleged deal, the newspaper would scale back its critical coverage of the prime minister in return for Netanyahu ensuring legislation to reduce the impact of Yedioth’s competitor, Sheldon Adelson’s pro-Netanyahu Israel Hayom free daily.
