Australian Billionaire Paid Netanyahu's Lawyer $50,000 Monthly

Australian billionaire James Packer paid $50,000 monthly for two years to Amit Haddad, Benjamin Netanyahu's lead defense attorney, a fact confirmed by both parties. The payments' legitimacy is questioned due to Packer's lack of known business in Israel, with the article exploring whether the fees were for Netanyahu's legal defense or other purposes. Previous reports highlighted substantial fees paid to Haddad's firm by political parties, raising further questions about his billing practices. The article concludes that without details on the services provided, the reasonableness of Packer's payments cannot be determined.
