Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized an investigation into ties between his office and Qatar as a 'witch hunt' after two of his aides were arrested. The suspects, Yonatan Urich and Eli Feldstein, are accused of contact with a foreign agent, money laundering, bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. Netanyahu, who is already on trial for corruption charges, condemned the arrests and the wider investigation as politically motivated. A judge has extended the detention of Urich and Feldstein by three days, citing 'reasonable suspicions' that require further investigation.
