  • PR executive Rani Rahav called Prime Minister Netanyahu's advisor Jonathan Urikh's actions treasonous.
  • Rahav stated that in a normal country, Urikh would be jailed and Netanyahu would resign.
  • Urikh is reportedly involved in leaked investigation materials and a campaign concerning Qatar.
  • Rahav previously called for Netanyahu's resignation over a lawsuit by former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.
  • Rahav's statements are influential due to his significant role in Israel's business sector.

Prominent Israeli public relations executive Rani Rahav has sharply criticized Jonathan Urikh, a close advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over Urikh's alleged involvement in leaked investigation materials and a campaign to improve Qatar's image. Urikh had posted on X, formerly Twitter, claiming to possess all investigation materials, including his correspondence with Eli Feldstein, and accusing journalist Michael Shemesh of publishing false and distorted information. Rahav responded to Urikh's post, stating, "In any normal country, you would have remained in a dungeon, and the Prime Minister would have resigned." Rahav accused Urikh of treason, not redundancy, and demanded accountability at the highest levels.

This is not Rahav's first strong public statement regarding the Prime Minister's office. Recently, in response to a NIS 3 million defamation lawsuit filed by former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar against Netanyahu, Rahav defended Bar, asserting that Bar "speaks the truth" and that Netanyahu "lies to you." Rahav further stated that the lawsuit "says it all," declaring Prime Minister Netanyahu "guilty, guilty, guilty, and must go home, immediately!"

Rahav, who heads the influential "Rahav Communications" firm, represents major Israeli businesses and tycoons. His significant economic power and extensive network in the business world lend considerable weight to his political statements, which often reflect growing frustrations with the current government's conduct.
