Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has filed a defamation lawsuit against Yair Golan, the leader of The Democrats party, after Golan accused him of selling Israel's security for money in the Qatargate scandal. Golan says he is looking forward to questioning Netanyahu about the Qatari money that flowed into his office. Golan plans to ask the prime minister about his request to fund Hamas, his ties with Qatar, and why he allowed Qatar to act as a mediator instead of Egypt. Golan also questions why Netanyahu did not fire his aide, a key suspect in the Qatargate probe.
