According to a report by The Zioneer, the Israeli prosecution has made at least ten attempts to take Prime Minister Netanyahu's testimony as part of the investigation into the 'Bild' affair – a corruption case involving alleged improper ties between the prime minister's office and the German tabloid. The report provides no further details on the timing or outcomes of those attempts.
A report published by The Zioneer states that prosecutors in the 'Bild' affair have attempted to secure testimony from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on at least ten occasions. The 'Bild' affair, first reported in early 2025, probes allegations of illicit dealings between the prime minister's office and the German tabloid Bild, including suspected bribery and influence peddling. The Zioneer report cites unnamed legal sources but does not specify the timeline of the attempts, nor whether any of them succeeded. The prime minister has not yet commented. The affair remains under investigation by the State Attorney's Office, with no charges filed to date.
