Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu accused his opponents on the left and Israeli media of trying to orchestrate a coup against him by pressuring investigators to charge him “at any cost”.

Police is questioning Netanyahu regarding two cases; “Case 1000” concerns claims that Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, received gifts from businessmen, and “Case 2000” concerns Netanyahu’s alleged attempts to negotiate with the newspaper Yediot Ahronoth to promote legislation to weaken Yediot’s main competitor in exchange for more favorable coverage of Netanyahu by the paper.

Police also questioned Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, regarding improper use of government funds, and Israeli media has speculated that the District Attorney is about to charge her.

Taking a page out of Donald Trump’s book, Netenyahu attacked the media, “fake news”, and the Left while speaking to a crowd of 3000 of his conservative Likud party’s supporters on Wednesday.

He deflected with humour, adding that "the next thing [is] they will call my dog in for questioning."

Meanwhile, i24News reports that last week, around 2000 people gathered to protest what they perceived as lenient treatment of Netanyahu by the attorney general in corruption probes against him. 

It is safe to say that he denies all allegations.
