Israeli media personality Ben Caspit has launched a scathing attack on Yonatan Uriach, a close advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over alleged security breaches and ties to Qatar. Speaking on Channel 12 news, Caspit detailed serious concerns regarding Uriach's access to sensitive information and his professional dealings.
Caspit claimed that Uriach, who he stated had not passed Shin Bet security clearance, worked closely with Qatar, receiving substantial payments from the state, which Caspit identified as a "terror funder," even during the ongoing war. He also alleged that Uriach placed his mobile phone on a server in Dubai.
Following the broadcast, Caspit intensified his criticism on his X account, calling Uriach an "amateur Qatari agent" who "drank too much" and whose actions could lead to serious repercussions. He questioned how Uriach remained the Prime Minister's most influential advisor.
Caspit also cited a tweet from Knesset Member Gadi Eisenkot, who expressed concern that if Netanyahu cannot safeguard the phone of his closest aide, who allegedly worked with Qatar during wartime, he cannot prevent the transfer of fuel to Hamas. Caspit concluded by expressing deep worry about Uriach's proximity to the Prime Minister.
The public exchange follows a recent personal spat between Caspit and Uriach, where Uriach made disparaging remarks about Caspit's personal life and writing. Caspit responded with sharp criticism, referencing Netanyahu's personal conduct and his own family relationships.
