Israel bribery inquiry: Audiotape adds to pressure on PM Netanyahu

Israeli media have reported the existence of an audiotape that is increasing pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing an inquiry into corruption allegations.<br/> <br/>The tape purports to carry a conversation with a newspaper owner in which they discuss actions that would be mutually beneficial. Mr Netanyahu was questioned by police last week in two different cases. On Sunday he repeated that nothing's going to come out of the inquiry.<br/> <br/>The details of the conversation on the audiotape were carried in a report on Channel 2 television and the Haaretz newspaper. They claim that the second person on the tape is Arnon Noni Mozes, the publisher of the Yedioth Ahronot newspaper. Haaretz said that Mr Mozes had also been questioned last week. There has been no response so far from Mr Netanyahu or Mr Mozes.
