Investigators have confronted Yonatan Urich, an advisor to Prime Minister Netanyahu, regarding multiple meetings he allegedly held with senior Qatari officials, including discussions about Netanyahu himself. According to interrogation transcripts obtained by Channel 12 News, Urich met with at least three high-ranking Qataris, one of whom is Tamir bin Hamad Al Thani, the head of Qatar's information apparatus and a member of the royal family. Investigators believe Al Thani discussed Netanyahu with Urich.
Urich also reportedly met with another senior official named Tarek, who served as a deputy minister. The interrogation transcripts reveal investigators asked Urich about his interactions with these individuals, including whether they knew he was an advisor to the Prime Minister. Urich repeatedly claimed not to know the officials or to not remember the meetings, stating that his role as an advisor was irrelevant to the World Cup project.
Further revelations indicate that Urich and Sharulik Einhorn allegedly initiated two meetings with Ali Al-Dhawadi, a close associate of the Emir of Qatar, during the ongoing war. This information comes from the testimony of a senior Mossad official, identified as 'Shin', who stated he organized the meetings at Urich and Einhorn's request. Urich denied requesting the meetings and claimed not to know Al-Dhawadi.
These meetings reportedly occurred in Europe during the war, not as part of any official Israeli delegation. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that Urich never discussed Qatar with him or informed him about these meetings.
