JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s attorney general has ordered police to open an investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife on suspicion of harassing political opponents and a witness in the Israeli leader’s corruption trial. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara made the announcement in a terse message late Thursday, saying the investigation would focus on the findings of a recent report by the “Uvda” investigative program into Sara Netanyahu. The program uncovered a trove of WhatsApp messages in which Mrs. Netanyahu appears to instruct a former aide to organize protests against political opponents and to intimidate Hadas Klein, a key witness in the trial. The announcement did not mention Mrs. Netanyahu by name, and the Justice Ministry declined further comment. But in a video released earlier Thursday, Netanyahu listed what he said were the many kind and charitable acts by his wife and blasted the Uvda report as “lies.” “My opponents on the left and in the media found a new-old target. They mercilessly attack my wife, Sara,” he said. He called the program ”false propaganda, nasty propaganda that brings up lies from the darkness.” It was the latest in a long line of legal troubles for the Netanyahus — highlighted by the prime minister's ongoing corruption trial . The pair have also had a rocky relationship with the Israeli media. Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in a series of cases alleging he exchanged favors with powerful media moguls and wealthy associates. Netanyahu denies the charges and says he is the victim of a “witch hunt” by overzealous prosecutors, police and the media. The report obtained correspondence between Sara Netanyahu and Hanni Bleiweiss, a former aide to the prime minister who died of cancer last year. The messages indicated that Sara Netanyahu, through Bleiweiss, encouraged police to crack down violently on anti-government protesters and ordered Bleiweiss to organize protests against her husband's critics. She also told Bleiweiss to get activists in Netanyahu's Likud party to publish attacks on Klein. Klein is an aide to billionaire Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan and has testified in the corruption case about her role in delivering tens of thousands of dollars worth of champagne, cigars and gifts to Netanyahu for her boss. According to the report, Bleiweiss also was instructed to organize demonstrations outside the homes of the lead prosecutor in the corruption case, Liat Ben-Ari, and then Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, who had issued the indictments, and protests and social media campaigns smearing political opponents. According to the report, Bleiweiss was a loyal aid to Netanyahu for decades. But while she was ill, it said Sara Netanyahu mistreated her, prompting her to share the messages with a reporter shortly before her death. Sara Netanyahu has been accused of abusive behavior toward her personal staff before. This, together with accusations of excessive spending and using public money for her own extravagant personal tastes, has earned her an image as being out of touch with everyday Israelis. In 2019, she was fined for misusing state funds. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees police and has repeatedly said the attorney general, Baharav-Miara should be fired over a series of grievances against her, said the latest announcement was another reason for her to be dismissed. “Someone who politically persecutes government ministers and their families cannot continue to serve as the attorney general,” he said. And Justice Minister Yariv Levin, another Netanyahu ally and critic of Baharav-Miara, accused her of focusing on “television gossip.” “Selective enforcement is a crime!” he said in a statement.

Chariah Gordon, the fiancée of Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, recently spoke to PEOPLE about certain rules the team has in place during the season. There are three in particular that apply to Kelce and Swift. The first rule regards the Super Bowl champions' curfew. Players on the Chiefs have an 11 p.m. curfew the night before games. If Kelce stays out past curfew, he'd be subject to discipline. The NFL's collective bargaining agreement states the following: "Any material curfew violation the night prior to the Club’s game may be considered conduct detrimental to the Club upon player’s first offense." The second rule that affects Swift is that significant others must stay in separate hotel rooms. Gordon told PEOPLE, "Ain't no staying in no same room." The Chiefs are apparently very strict about this rule. The third and final rule that Swift must follow is pretty interesting. Wives and girlfriends of Chiefs players cannot board the team's plane after away games. Jayla Thornton-Cook, the wife of Chiefs safety Bryan Cook, opened up about this rule. "They leave by themselves," she said. "You're more than welcome to go to a game and you can see them after, and then they're getting right back on the flight and they're coming right back home that night." Michael Owens/Getty Images So far, Kelce and Swift have done a great job of following the rules. We don't expect that to change anytime soon. It's unclear if Swift will attend this Sunday's home game for the Chiefs. They're looking to bounce back from their first loss of the season.

However, it appears that Manchester United's hierarchy believes that the current structure in place is sufficient to handle the club's footballing affairs. With manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer already playing a significant role in player recruitment and transfer dealings, the club may feel that the addition of a sporting director is unnecessary at this time.Finance and Corporate Affairs Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will hold pre-Budget consultations with industry captains on December 30. The meeting, scheduled a month before Sitharaman will present her eighth consecutive Budget in the Parliament, comes at a time when the Indian economy is grappling with signs of a slowdown. After robust growth over the last three years, the economy seems to have slowed down in the first half of the current financial year, with both fiscal and monetary policy remaining restrictive. At their upcoming meeting with the Finance Minister, India Inc is now expected to pitch for measures to boost consumption, which is the largest component of GDP, to support high growth. While there has been some revival in private investments, global uncertainties—arising from sluggish economic recovery, geopolitical conflicts, and excess capacity in China, among other factors—continue to impede a broad-based recovery in private-sector investment. Industry representatives are likely to pitch for measures that would steer the economy through challenging times with a bold and forward-looking fiscal blueprint, sources said. In their pre-Budget discussions with Sitharaman and top Finance Ministry officials, industry leaders and heads of apex chambers of commerce are widely expected to urge the Centre to continue with the capex-led growth strategy followed in the recent years. This approach, which has been central to recent Budgets, is aimed at bolstering infrastructure, generating employment, and crowding in private investments. Corporates believe that sustained public investment in infrastructure and logistics will not only create a multiplier effect on economic activity but also catalyse private investment. In its proposals for Union Budget 2025-26, the CII has made a case for increasing the public capital expenditure by 25 per cent over 2024-25 (BE) to ₹13.9 lakh crore. Infrastructure related to rural areas, agriculture and the social sector (healthcare, education etc) should be given greater priority, CII has said. The new FICCI President Harsha Vardhan Agarwal recently told businessline that the apex chamber is advocating a 15 per cent hike in Central government capex for 2025-26. Sitharaman has consistently emphasised the importance of balancing growth with fiscal prudence. The CII has now said that the Union Budget 2025-26 should make interventions to support all engines of growth while continuing on the glide path announced for fiscal deficit and bring it to 4.5 per cent of GDP in 2025-26. A case has also been made by the CII to further improve the ease of doing business by bringing all regulatory approvals of Centre, States and local governments on the National Single Window System (NSWS). With GDP growth expected to moderate this fiscal— from the 8.2 per cent recorded in 2023-24 —due to global headwinds and domestic constraints, the upcoming Budget is being keenly watched for measures that can reinvigorate growth. Industry chambers such as the CII have emphasised that India’s real GDP must grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5–8 percent over the next 25 years for the country to achieve developed-nation status. Industry representatives are expected to push for policies that enhance ease of doing business, incentivise investments and reduce the cost of capital, at the December 30 meeting. A demand for more targeted incentives to boost private sector participation in sectors like manufacturing, technology, and green energy, which are critical to sustaining long-term grow, is also likely to be put forward.
