TV presenter Eliraz Sade questioned on Twitter whether Prime Minister Netanyahu's relationship with Qatar delayed an Israeli attack that led to the release of recent hostages. Netanyahu's advisor, Yonatan Urich, responded by asking if Sade's large payment for hosting a Likud TV studio was excessive, to which Sade replied that he deserved more but honored his agreement. Sade stated he has nothing personal against Urich or Netanyahu, acknowledging their fairness towards him. However, Sade criticized the situation, calling it a severe security risk, even if legal, and suggested that anyone doing business with Qatar while connected to Israeli security should be ashamed unless they acted as a double agent for Israel, like Eli Cohen.
Sade further challenged Urich, asking if he was prepared to publicly distance himself from Netanyahu to convince the world that the Prime Minister was unaware of certain dealings. Sade implied that Urich and others involved in business with Qatar should be ashamed unless they were double agents for Israel. The exchange occurred on Twitter, with Sade initiating the public discussion. The article also briefly mentions a separate event involving Mandelblit's dramatic admission in the Netanyahu trial.
