Israeli police question pm netanyahu again on corruption allegations

Yes, that's correct. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was questioned by police again on corruption allegations on July 2, 2021. This was the 12th time he has been questioned in connection with the investigations.

The latest questioning was related to allegations of corruption and bribery in a case known as Case 4000, which involves suspicions of Netanyahu receiving lavish gifts and benefits from a wealthy friend, Shaul Elovitch, in exchange for favors and policy decisions that benefited Elovitch's business interests.

Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing and has accused the police and prosecutors of conducting a witch hunt against him. However, the investigations have been ongoing for several years and have already led to the indictment of several other high-ranking officials and businesspeople.

It's worth noting that the Israeli justice system is independent and operates separately from the government, and the police and prosecutors are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crimes, regardless of the identity of the accused.

The latest questioning of Netanyahu comes at a sensitive time, as Israel is in the midst of a political crisis and is preparing for new elections. Netanyahu's Likud party is facing a challenge from the opposition Blue and White party, and the prime minister's corruption allegations have become a major issue in the campaign.
