Netanyahu Adviser Admits Qatari Work Continued Months After October 7
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's adviser Jonatan Urich admitted during a police interrogation that his work for Qatari entities continued for months after the October 7 massacre.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's adviser, Jonatan Urich, admitted during a Lahav 433 police interrogation that he ended his work with Qatari entities only in mid-to-late 2024, several months after the October 7 massacre.
According to a Channel 12 report, Urich was questioned about promoting Qatar's image in Israel, the payments he received, and whether Benjamin Netanyahu was aware of his employment. Urich initially claimed he could not recall when the work ended, but later confirmed he continued past October 7, stating he stopped only after former adviser Jonatan Einhorn informed him the project was finished.
When asked if he reported the work to Benjamin Netanyahu, Urich replied that he does not report external activities to the prime minister, emphasizing a distinction between foreign and domestic work. Netanyahu previously testified that he had no knowledge of any ties between Qatar and his adviser, who reportedly used artificial intelligence tools to draft strategic messaging for international audiences.
