Netanyahu’s crony capitalism A secretly taped conversation in a car in 2015 involved Yair Netanyahu, now 26, and Ori Maimon, the son of Kobi Maimon, one of the main shareholders in Isramco, which owns the Tamar gas field, has gone viral. Aired by a TV channel, the tape has drawn stinging rebukes from Netanyahu’s office — but not much has been said about the gas deal. Instead, Netanyahu has gone after the channel for broadcasting the tape. Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing; however, the gas arrangement overly favored the companies involved.
