Personal WhatsApp messages allegedly belonging to Yonatan Urich, an advisor to the Prime Minister, have been leaked, revealing his critical views of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara.
During the war, Urich corresponded with Eli Feldstein, seeking to promote news critical of the Netanyahu family. In these messages, Urich reportedly stated that the Prime Minister's wife "confuses the gentiles" and expressed a desire for her to "get off our backs." He also criticized the Prime Minister's media briefings, calling them "the worst in the country" and "a waste of time."
One exchange involved Urich asking Feldstein to "help create an item about Sara's suit," to which Feldstein replied, "Handling it." Urich then added, "She confuses the gentiles," and "Even a news flash or something, so she gets off our backs."
These revelations follow a previous report in Haaretz that Urich developed an AI-based communication monitoring system for the Prime Minister and his wife. This system scanned numerous information sources and Telegram channels to identify and alert about news related to the couple. The project caused controversy when it was discovered that Urich had left the code publicly accessible online, exposing access keys and phone numbers.
Despite concerns about potential information leaks due to the system's exposure and Urich's alleged connection of his private phone to a Dubai-based messaging service, no investigation has been opened by the Likud party or security officials to date.
