Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar said he was asked to testify regarding media personality Yaakov Bardugo, but he "does not see criminal intent in his conduct" and therefore will not file a complaint. This statement follows police launching an investigation against Bardugo on suspicion of extorting three Likud ministers - Yariv Levin, Shlomo Karhi and Zohar. In a post on X network about a week ago, Zohar wrote that he encountered "threats from the self-interested Yaakov Bardugo, who disgracefully intimidates right-wing elected officials."
