Be it in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, thousands are now regularly hitting the streets to protest against Benjamin Netanyahu
0:07
Already on trial for corruption and already igniting anger over trying to fire Israel's Attorney General and its domestic security chief
0:15
the Prime Minister now has another judicial pebble in his shoe. It's being pegged Qatar Gate
0:21
For these Israelis, it's yet another sign of government corruption. Catergate is a very big issue
0:27
I have no details, but I know it's a... under investigation. Prime Minister is very, very under pressure because of this investigation and trying to stop
0:38
the investigator. Qatar is a country that supports terrorists. They're supporting Hamas who's trying to kill and hurt Israeli people
0:47
So for us, it's basically our own prime minister, people in our own government, are colluding
0:55
with people that are trying to hurt us. So what exactly is Israel's Qatar gate
1:00
It's an ongoing investigation to find out if alleged payments were made by Qatar to Netanyahu's aides
1:07
On Monday, two of them were arrested. And while the Prime Minister himself is not a suspect, he was questioned on Monday as a witness
1:15
On his telegram account Netanyahu said the probe is purely political, with the goal of keeping him from firing his internal security chief
1:22
who runs Shinbet, the very agency that's conducting the probe. There is no case. There is absolutely nothing. Just a political witch hunt. Nothing else
1:36
With the firing of Ronenbar frozen by the Supreme Court, Netanyahu had proposed another candidate, but then retracted it on Tuesday
1:44
As for Qatar, it has no official diplomatic ties with Israel. The gas-rich nation has long-hosted leaders of Hamas
1:52
It called the Qatar Gate accusations a smear campaign
