Opposition leaders are calling for an investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, accusing it of collaborating with Qatar, which they allege is a "Qatari agent" that "operated psychological terror against Israeli citizens." Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of Yesh Atid, stated that a Qatari agent is still active within the Prime Minister's office and that a "reasonable and competent" prime minister would have announced the agent's immediate dismissal. Eisenkot added that a reasonable and competent prime minister would have announced the agent's immediate dismissal.

Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, announced that on October 27, his party would remove the "Qatar office in Jerusalem from power" and demand an investigation into the Prime Minister's office for "betraying the State of Israel during wartime." The accusations stem from reports that an advisor to Netanyahu, Yonatan Urich, devised a plan to improve Qatar's standing in Israel.
