Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara instructs the police to summon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to give testimony in the ongoing investigation into his aides over their allegedly unlawful ties to Qatar, Channel 12 reports.
Netanyahu’s testimony would be given as someone with knowledge of the affair and not as a suspect at this stage.
According to Channel 12’s report, a decision as to whether to subsequently question Netanyahu under caution, meaning as a suspect in the case, would be taken after giving open testimony first.
The Attorney General’s Office does not immediately respond to a request for the report’s verification.
