Israeli journalist says Netanyahu apologized for mocking him

None

An Israeli TV journalist said Thursday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to him in a phone call after mocking him in a speech.

 

Netanyahu mimicked veteran journalist Moshe Nussbaum of Channel 2 News—who has been covering the prime minister's ongoing corruption investigations—in a speech to his Likud party this week.

 

Nussbaum told Army Radio that he told Netanyahu he was not offended.

 

An Israeli government official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with protocol, confirmed the call.
