Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is suing former defense minister Moshe Ya'alon for suggesting that the premier received millions of dollars from Qatar. Ya'alon made the comments in an interview, claiming there was unproven intelligence information showing that Netanyahu received $15 million in 2012 and $50 million in 2018 from Qatar. Netanyahu called the comments a 'despicable lie' and accused Ya'alon of being part of a campaign of threats against him and his family. The prime minister has filed a lawsuit against Ya'alon, who responded by suggesting that Netanyahu was feeling pressure from an investigation into alleged ties between his aides and Qatar.
