Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused law enforcement officials of seeking to overthrow his government on Monday, speaking after he testified to police about his office’s alleged dealings with Qatar.

“I understood that there was a political investigation here, but I did not know to what extent,” said Netanyahu after his questioning in his office by Israel Police Deputy Commissioner Shlomo Meshulam regarding the so-called Qatargate affair.

“The police said it would take four hours. After an hour, they finished with the questions,” stated the prime minister. “I said, ‘Show me material, show me something,’ but they had nothing to show.”
