Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's adviser, Yonatan Urich, admitted in interrogation that he continued working for Qatar on an image-boosting campaign after the October 7 attacks, estimating he earned hundreds of thousands of shekels. Urich stated he saw no moral issue with the work and did not inform Netanyahu. The campaign, "Project Lighthouse," was developed by Urich and Srulik Einhorn. Investigations have broadened to include suspicions of influence peddling and the alleged leak of classified documents, with Netanyahu's Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman also under suspicion for obstruction of justice.
