Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday asked the attorney general to allow a live broadcast of his hearing next week ahead of his possible indictment for corruption because he has "nothing to hide."
"There will be leaks anyway, we've seen 300 leaks already with no treatment or investigation. That practice will continue," he said. "So why let the public be fed partial information only?" "Not only do I have nothing to hide, I want everything to be heard," he said, adding that a live broadcast was "how we can ensure justice and truth."
