Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has brushed off developments in the investigation of alleged improprieties at the Bezeq communications company, also known as File 4000, in which two of his associates were arrested today.

A statement in Netanyahu's name said, "After the air was released from File 1000 and File 2000, and after it turns out that there is no air in the 3000 file, the media has created tremendous pressure to produce a new balloon - File 4000. The air will also come out of it."
