JERUSALEM— Israeli police questioned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the first time on Friday in a corruption case that involves the country’s largest telecommun­ications company. Along with two other corruption cases, in which Netanyahu is suspected of bribery, the probes pose a serious threat to the four-term prime minister’s political survival. In the newest investigat­ion, known as Case 4000, police allege that the owners of Bezeq Israel Telecom provided favorable coverage of Netanyahu and his wife on a news website they controlled in return for favors from communicat­ions regulators.
