The BBC reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been questioned about the so-called "Catargate" scandal.
He testified at his office in Jerusalem, meeting with investigators from the Serious Crimes Investigation Division. To get there, Netanyahu had to leave the Tel Aviv District Court early Monday morning, where he testified in a separate corruption case against him.
However, the proceedings now seem relatively light compared to the Qatargate investigation, which involves the prime minister's aides' alleged involvement in lobbying for Qatar.
So far, Netanyahu has been a witness, not a suspect, in the investigation. Meanwhile, police on Monday arrested two of his top aides, Jonathan Urich and Eli Feldstein, who are considered the main suspects in the case.
According to Israeli sources, Netanyahu's testimony will be thoroughly examined, after which the General prosecutor's office will decide whether there are grounds to change the prime minister's status.
