Police will on Tuesday interrogate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the tenth time since the start of investigations into alleged corruption.
The interrogation, which should take place at his home, should be about an alleged compromise with former Bezeq majority shareholder, Shaul Elovich, known as Case 400.
Investigators face Netanyahu with testimonials and material provided by state witnesses Nir Hefetz and Shlomo Filber. Elovitch should also be questioned on Tuesday.
Netanyahu was last interviewed about three and a half months ago. Last month, he testified for five hours about the controversial sale of German submarines to Israel in the submarine business.

In the other two cases against Netanyahu – Case 1000, the case of champagne and cigars involving Arnon Milchan, and Case 2000, an aborted agreement with publisher Yedioth Ahronoth Noni Mozes – a work in progress. The investigation remains to be done, largely thanks to the testimony of Hefetz and some new details that he has provided.
Prosecutors badess both cases to decide, with Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit, whether the decision to recommend prosecutions against the Prime Minister should be made only after the completion of the investigation on the 4000 case, which could take several months to conclude.
The opinions of these prosecutors on the three cases should be ready only in 2019.
Two weeks ago, Mendelblit said that unlike the public impression, Netanyahu has only been investigated for a year and a half. Mendelblit ordered a review of the prime minister two years ago, and it is only in January 2017 – when the prime minister was questioned for the first time with caution – that the review took place. Is turned into a criminal investigation.
Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Court of First Instance granted a three-month postponement of the trial of Sara Netanyahu, the Prime Minister's wife, and Ezra Saidoff, former deputy director-general of the prime minister's office. Instead of next week, the trial will begin in October.
Sara Netanyahu was charged last month with abuse of trust and fraud for ordering meals of 350,000 shekels ($ 96,000) at gourmet restaurants from 2010 to 2013. She was charged with 39, breaking the Personal rules. Saidoff was also accused of falsifying information by an official.
