According to The Times of Israel, three senior advisers to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—Jonatan Urich, Yisrael Einhorn, and Eli Feldstein—are currently under investigation for allegedly leaking classified intelligence to Qatar. The report, citing Israel Hayom, claims these individuals were allegedly on Doha's payroll while providing sensitive information regarding Israeli concerns over Egypt. It is alleged that Qatar subsequently leaked this information to Israeli media outlets as part of a strategic campaign to undermine Cairo's standing in the eyes of the Israeli public. The objective of this alleged operation was reportedly to facilitate Qatar's emergence as the primary mediator in hostage negotiations with Hamas, thereby sidelining other regional actors. The suspects are central figures in the ongoing 'Qatargate' investigation, which examines allegations of illicit offenses tied to pro-Qatar lobbying and influence activities within the Israeli government.
