JERUSALEM â  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  is fighting for  his  political life as a dizzying array of scandals has engulfed  him    his  family and  his  inner circle.
Police last week announced they have sufficient evidence to indict  Netanyahu  for bribery  fraud and breach of trust in two separate cases. And this week  a new case emerged that threatens to be the most damaging of all  after one of his closest confidants agreed to testify against him in an influence-peddling scandal.
 Netanyahu  and  his  wife  Sara  have long been saddled with a penchant for expensive tastes and questionable use of public funds.  Netanyahu  has denied all wrongdoing and accuses the media of orchestrating a campaign aimed at ousting him from office.
But with those closest to him under intense police and public scrutiny  and his typically loyal political allies suddenly turning silent   Netanyahu  faces the stiffest challenge yet to  his  lengthy rule.
Police have recommended indicting  Netanyahu  over accepting nearly $300 000 in gifts from Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan and Australian billionaire James Packer. Police say that in return for lavish gifts that included jewelry  expensive cigars and champagne   Netanyahu  had operated on Milchanâs behalf on U.S. visa matters  tried to legislate a generous tax break for  him  and sought to promote  his  interests in the Israeli media market.
Police have not commented on what Packer may have received  and  Netanyahu  has said everything  he  received were gifts from friends. Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit  a  Netanyahu  appointee  will make the final decision on whether to file charges â a process that is expected to take several months.
Police have also recommended indicting  Netanyahu  for supposedly offering a newspaper publisher legislation that would weaken  his  paperâs main rival in return for more favorable coverage.  Netanyahu  reportedly was recorded asking Arnon Mozes  the publisher of the Yediot Ahronot daily  for positive coverage in exchange for helping to weaken Israel Hayom  a free pro-Netanyahu newspaper that had cut into Yediotâs business.
Israel Hayom is financed by  Netanyahuâs  American billionaire friend Sheldon Adelson and largely serves as the prime ministerâs mouthpiece.  Netanyahu  has noted that a proposed law to weaken Israel Hayom never passed  and this week said  he  had even dissolved  his  coalition and called a new election in 2015 because of  his  opposition to the proposal.  The attorney general  will have to rule on this case as well.
This week two close  Netanyahu  confidants were arrested on suspicion of promoting regulation worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Israelâs Bezeq telecom company. In return  Bezeqâs popular news site  Walla  allegedly provided favorable coverage of  Netanyahu  and  his  family. Nir Hefetz  a former  Netanyahu  family spokesman  and Shlomo Filber  the former director of the Communications Ministry under  Netanyahu   are in custody as well as Bezeqâs controlling shareholder Shaul Elovitch  along with his wife  son and other top Bezeq executives.
Former journalists at the Walla news site have attested to being pressured to refrain from negative reporting of  Netanyahu .  Netanyahu   who held the communications portfolio until last year  has not yet been named as a suspect in the case but is expected to be questioned. Filber has reportedly agreed to turn state witness against  Netanyahu  in return for a lesser sentence.
 Netanyahu  has not been named as a suspect  but some of  his  closest associates have been implicated in probe related to a possible conflict of interest involving a $2 billion purchase of German submarines.  Netanyahu âs personal attorney  who is also  his  cousin  represented the German firm involved and is suspected of using  his  influence over the prime minister in return for a hefty cut of the deal.
As if  Netanyahu  didnât have enough problems  police said Tuesday that Hefetz  his former media adviser  is suspected of trying to bribe a judge in exchange for dropping a corruption case against the Israeli leaderâs wife. Hefetz is suspected of suggesting  through a middleman  to Judge Hila Gerstel in 2015 that she could be appointed attorney general if she dismissed a pending case against Sara Netanyahuâs excessive household spending.
