Israeli police conducted a raid at the Foreign Ministry's offices in Jerusalem as part of an investigation into the alleged improper issuance of diplomatic passports to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, and several prominent members of his Likud party. The investigation began following revelations that these passports were granted despite the individuals not meeting eligibility criteria, particularly for Yair Netanyahu, who is over 18. Former Foreign Minister Eli Cohen is under scrutiny for ordering these passports against the advice of ministry officials, who expressed concerns regarding their validity. The police seized documents during the raid to further their inquiry into the matter. Diplomatic passports are reserved for high-ranking officials and provide various travel-related benefits. This controversy raises questions about political influence within government processes.
