The Latest Target in Netanyahu‘s Crosshairs: The Police

Like an ancient engraving that is exposed bit by bit as successive layers of sand are brushed away, the general lines of strategy were gradually revealed this week.

This is just the beginning of what looks to be a war the prime minister intends to wage against anyone who’s not counted among his supporters.

Netanyahu Caught on Tape Negotiating Mutual Benefits With Businessman

At the heart of the affair, dubbed Case 2000, lies an attempt to make an unambiguous deal between money and government – not suitcases brimming with cash in return for a gas monopoly, or bank transfers to a secret account in return for franchises in natural resources or infrastructure, but the businessman‘s support that would help Netanyahu remain in office in exchange for huge financial benefits.

Even if this pact was only partly realized or was still in its infancy, the mere existence – and documentation – of such incredible negotiations demands an immediate criminal investigation.
