Netanyahu son bragged about gas deal outside strip club, tape reveals
While on tour of clubs with minder in tow, Yair Netanyahu is heard telling friend: My dad made an awesome deal for your dad

Lawyers for Israels prime minister, Benjamin Netanayhu, tried to stop the broadcast of an embarrassing audiotape in which Netanyahus son Yair suggested his father helped push through a $20bn deal to the benefit of a gas tycoon.
The recording of the conversation, which took place outside a strip club, is the latest revelation to cast light on the Netanyahu familys relationships with wealthy tycoons, which have so far spawned two corruption investigations into the prime ministers activities.
According to the Israel Television Channel, the tape features the voices of Yair Netanyahu and Ori Maimon, a son of the gas tycoon Kobi Maimon. Maimon Sr is a shareholder in Isramco, which owns the Tamar gas fields.
According to the reports, Yair and friends, with his government-provided security guard and driver in tow, were going from one strip club to another.
He and Maimon can apparently be heard arguing about 400 shekels ($116) as they leave the club, with Yair reportedly telling his companion: Bro, you got to spot me. My dad made an awesome deal for your dad, bro, he fought, fought in the Knesset for this, bro.
