Benjamin Netanyahu is not one to shy away from a scandal. Israel's longest-serving prime minister has survived quite a few since first taking office in 1996. But the latest outrage - known in Israel as "Qatargate" - has only added to the ongoing sense of political crisis among Israel's public. Earlier this week, two of Netanyahu's senior advisers were arrested on suspicion of promoting Qatar's reputation in exchange for payments from the Qatari government. It follows an earlier scandal surrounding the prime minister's years-long policy of transferring cash from Qatar to Hamas in Gaza despite warnings it was being used for military purposes. So, how deep do Qatar's alleged ties to the Prime Minister's Office reach, and could they be grave enough to put Netanyahu's leadership in jeopardy? Support stories that matter.
