Prime Minister Netanyahu says he wants his ministers and others in top meetings to take polygraph tests as he condemned a “plague of leaks” taking over his cabinet, Al Jazeera reports.

“Everyone who sits in cabinet and security discussions” should do this as things “cannot go on as they have so far”, he said, demanding a law be drafted to make this happen.

The embattled Israeli leader’s comments come after heated disputes among government and military officials with several ministers subsequently refusing to participate in meetings.
