Two of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s top aides were arrested over allegations of financial ties with Qatar.

Jonatan Urich and Eli Feldstein were arrested on Monday morning. Netanyahu gave an hourlong testimony as a witness, saying the Israeli police were attempting to “topple” his “right-wing government,” rhetoric likely looking to draw support from those on the international Right angry over the prosecution of other right-wing leaders.
