Israeli television broadcast a 2015 recording in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus son is heard bantering with a son of a shareholder in a gas company that won offshore drilling rights from the government and asking him for money to pay a stripper.
Yair Netanyahu was recorded while cruising between strip clubs in downtown Tel Aviv in a government-supplied armored car with one of the sons of Isramco Negev 2 LP shareholder Jackob Maimon, according to Hadashot TV news. Along with them was another friend, a secret-service agent and a driver.
Amid raunchy jokes about a night of drinking at the adult clubs, the younger Netanyahu can be heard complaining that the friend wont lend him money to pay a dancer even though his father benefited from the lucrative gas business with the government .
