Following new revelations concerning the morning of October 7, Israel's opposition has called for an investigation into the actions of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's inner circle. The controversy centers on alleged plans by Prime Minister's advisor Yonatan Urikh to improve Qatar's image within Israel. Opposition leaders are demanding a review of the Prime Minister's office's operations and a legal assessment of the conduct of those close to Netanyahu, according to the Israeli publication Ynet.
Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yesh Atid party, sharply criticized Netanyahu, stating that the Prime Minister should immediately dismiss Urikh. Eisenkot described the advisor as acting in Qatar's interests and accused him of attempting to influence Israeli society. "A reasonable and competent prime minister would announce his immediate dismissal this evening," Eisenkot declared.
Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, joined the call for an investigation. He stated that after the elections on October 27, the opposition intends to pursue an investigation into the Prime Minister's office on suspicion of treason during wartime. "We will demand an investigation into the Prime Minister's office on suspicion of treason against the State of Israel during wartime," Lieberman emphasized.
The political scandal was triggered by the publication of details about Urikh's alleged plan to alter perceptions of Qatar within Israel. The specifics of this plan were not provided in the published material. Currently, the situation involves demands from opposition politicians for a review, and the accusations themselves do not constitute proof of wrongdoing by the advisor. Previously, it was reported that correspondence from an Israeli prime minister's advisor had been leaked online.
