Screenshots circulating online reportedly show alleged communications between Yonatan Uriach, an advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and journalists Amit Segal and Yaakov Bardugo. The purported messages discuss message coordination, speeches, and media publications. The authenticity of these exchanges has not been officially verified.
One alleged conversation between Uriach and Segal appears to detail discussions about the content of a prime ministerial speech before it was delivered, with Segal reportedly offering input and suggesting revisions. Other alleged exchanges involve media briefings, communication strategies, and public statements.
Further purported messages include a discussion about the possibility of Netanyahu losing an election, with phrases like "We are completely finished" and "They will hang you" attributed to the conversation. In another alleged exchange, Uriach asks Bardugo to feature an item on Channel 14, to which Bardugo replies "Of course." Bardugo also reportedly inquired about a conference call and asked to be included.
It is important to note that the authenticity of these screenshots, which were posted on a dedicated website, has not been officially confirmed. Furthermore, it is unclear if the images represent the full context of the communications. The release of these alleged chats follows recent reports about Uriach's data security practices, including the connection of his private WhatsApp account to a Dubai-based platform and the alleged exposure of source code for an AI-powered media monitoring system he developed for the Netanyahus.
