Israeli police summoned former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for questioning Wednesday regarding work done in his home by a Jerusalem contractor. Police are probing charges of bribe-taking because the contractor, Avner Ademi, allegedly did not charge Netanyahu for the work while the premier was in office.
