Israel’s attorney general has ordered police to open an investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife on suspicion of harassing political opponents and a witness in the Israeli leader’s corruption trial. The investigation stems from a recent report by the 'Uvda' investigative program, which uncovered WhatsApp messages suggesting Mrs. Netanyahu instructed a former aide to organize protests against political opponents and intimidate a key witness in the trial.
While the announcement did not mention Mrs. Netanyahu by name, the Justice Ministry declined further comment. In response, Netanyahu defended his wife, highlighting her charitable acts and dismissing the report as 'lies.'
