Israeli police to question James Packer over Israeli PM Netanyahu graft probe
A spokesman for Mr Packer has been contacted for comment.
Mr Packer and Mr Milchan are alleged to have given the Netanyahu family hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts, including tickets to Ms Carey's concerts in Israel.
Israeli state employees and elected officials are forbidden from accepting gifts, but Mr Netanyahu has characterised the items in question as personal gifts from friends.
There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by Packer.
The report said the police wanted Mr Packer's version of events as they considered it the missing piece of the puzzle in their investigation.
In an Israeli interview earlier this week, Mariah Carey appeared upset at suggestions she might also be summoned for questioning.
"Oh, now they want to blame me? Someone wants to blame me for something now? What did I do? I didn't do anything," said Carey before closing down the interview.
It comes the same week that 19 Crown Resort staff pleaded guilty to the crime of promoting gambling in China in a trial that lasted half a day.
Crown's head of VIP Operations, Jason O'Connor, from Melbourne, was sentenced to 10 months including time served. He is expected to be released on August 14.
