There is an allegation that members of the inner circle to Prime Minister Netanyahu were being paid by a foreign power (Qatar ) while working for Netanyahu. This has even been called treason.
“Former prime minister Naftali Bennett called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign on Monday, accusing him of engaging in the cover-up of the Qatargate affair, which Bennett called “the most serious act of treason in Israeli history.”
So the question arises: when it comes to bribing top advisers who are culpable? Is it only the persons receiving the bribe? Is the giver also morally culpable?
Then the other consideration arises: if a state makes giving bribes a way of effecting foreign policy, why should its own personnel not come to see gving and receiving bribes as an everyday matter?
Is it credible for a politician to consider it treason when one of his states senior adviser takes bribes but not culpable behaviour when one of his agents gives bribes to senior advisers of an ally?
How does an Israeli poitican not admit that his state has been encouraging treason by senior advisers to the United States President? One can call it what one likes: campaign contributions from a foreign source gien indirectly? It is extremely unlikely that any sums from Qatar came dir3ctly from a Qatari bank account either.
These are just questions. Later I might venture some answers.
