Prime Minister’s adviser Yonatan Urich responded on Thursday after the court once again rejected the prosecution’s request to impose restrictive conditions on him. He said the ruling means he will continue working in Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
In a post on X, Urich wrote, “A short update from the court: the prosecution lost again. Don’t worry, this will not make them reconsider their course.” He added that prosecutors are trying to prevent him from working for “Likud’s victory in the election,” while he is fighting them together with his lawyers, Amit Hadad and Noa Milstein.
Urich also named prosecutor Adv. Yael Ben Shmuel, saying she had argued the restrictions were urgent even though, for months, she and the prosecution had agreed that he could work alongside Netanyahu without such limits. He said, “Try to understand.” According to him, all of the prosecution’s arguments, which were presented “at great length for an hour and twenty minutes,” were rejected by Judge Alaa Masarwa.
He said the Tel Aviv District Court decided there was no basis to impose restrictive terms now, and that the time that has passed, along with the way the prosecution itself conducted the proceedings, does not allow its request to be accepted. Urich ended by saying, “With God’s help I will continue working for the prime minister.”
