Israeli police are questioning Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for a third time over allegations of corruption.
The PM, who denies any wrongdoing, is expected to be grilled for two hours.
There have been widespread calls for Mr Olmert to resign, and he faces an election for the leadership of his governing party in mid-September.
Police are trying to establish whether he dispensed favours in exchange for funds he allegedly received illegally from US financier Morris Talansky.
Mr Talansky has testified he gave hundreds of thousands of dollars in envelopes full of cash to Israel's prime minister but said he Olmert 'took cash in envelopes' ...

Mr Talansky has said some of the money was used for expensive personal items, and funds intended as loans were never repaid.
The allegations are connected to the 13 years before Mr Olmert became premier in 2006, when he was mayor of Jerusalem and minister of trade and industry.
He has denied any wrongdoing, but said he would resign if indicted.
