Netanyahu tries to 'deflect attention' from corruption case by attacking Gaza


(MENAFN) Quds Press said on Sunday that Israel's Prime Minister uses attacks against the Gaza Strip to drive attention away from corruption charges against him, and the potential dissolution of his coalition government.

This comes after Benjamin Netanyahu said on Twitter that the Israeli occupation forces had destroyed two tunnels in Gaza.

He warned the international community that money being raised to help Palestinian refugees is used by "terror" groups. "It is time for the international community to recognize that Gaza aid money is being buried underground," he alleged, in reference to the tunnels.

In response, the military wing of Hamas, Al-Qassam Brigades, said that the Israeli claims about destroying tunnels refers to old structures which were used by the Palestinian resistance during the massive Israeli offensive against civilians in the Gaza Strip in 2014. Almost 2,300 Palestinians were killed during the attack.

According to Israeli Hayom, Netanyahu's eldest son Yair will be investigated for the first time in relation to the alleged corruption of his father as Netanyahu and his family are expected to be investigated on Monday.
