PM slams wife's conviction in plea deal as witch hunt costing millions

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slams the plea bargain signed by his wife over external caterers at their official residence as a "witch hunt" that "cost millions."

The comments come hours after Sara Netanyahu agreed to the plea bargain, which saw the charges against her reduced from fraud to deliberately exploiting a mistake by another person in ordering NIS 175,000 worth of catering despite having a chef on site. She will pay back NIS 55,000 of the sum to the state coffers.
