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. Following Netanyahu’s electoral defeat, Ademi presented the prime minister’s office with a bill for more than $100,000. Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing.
