Protest leader Professor Shikma Bressler issued a sharp critique of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and Netanyahu's advisors, presenting what she called five facts every Israeli must know. Bressler alleged that Netanyahu and Smotrich intentionally fostered Hamas as an asset for ideological reasons, against security officials' recommendations, thereby harming national security. She further claimed the government knowingly transferred hundreds of millions of Qatari dollars to Hamas, funds used for terror, tactical weapons, and tunnels employed in the October 7th attacks.
Bressler also addressed recent revelations concerning the Prime Minister's advisors in the "Qatargate" affair. She asserted that close advisors received money from Qatar to manipulate Israeli public opinion, damage strategic relations with Egypt, and thwart hostage deal negotiations. Bressler strongly criticized Netanyahu for not dismissing his advisors even after it was revealed they worked for Qatar.
Bressler's attack comes amid dramatic developments in the "Qatargate" investigation, which probes suspicions that the Prime Minister's close advisors, including Yonatan Uriach and Eli Feldstein, promoted campaigns and a positive image for Qatar during the war. Bressler and Netanyahu are engaged in an ongoing legal battle, initiated by Netanyahu's defamation lawsuit against her over claims of financial ties to Qatar. Bressler filed a defense statement and a counterclaim. Following leaked investigation details and recent WhatsApp messages, Bressler has re-emerged at the forefront of public criticism against the Prime Minister and his circle.
