Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's adviser, Yonatan Urich, reportedly used ChatGPT to devise strategies for improving Qatar's image among Israelis and global Jewish communities. The requests were revealed during Urich's interrogation as part of the "Qatargate" affair, which investigates alleged illicit payments from Qatari sources for pro-Qatar messaging. Urich denied acting on Qatar's behalf, stating he did not recall the specific AI queries. Critics have condemned the alleged actions as a "treason scandal" and "influence operation."
