Yonatan Urich, a close advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, revealed on social media that a meeting between Netanyahu and two senior executives from News 12, Avi Weiss and Gai Sudri, ended abruptly shortly after the October 7th Hamas attack. Urich, who was present at the meeting held at the Prime Minister's office in Tel Aviv, stated that Netanyahu was presenting the security situation, threat map, and planned operational responses following the attack.
According to Urich, Weiss and Sudri then raised the possibility of bringing opposition leader Yair Lapid into the government. Urich described confronting them, stating, "This is not the time for politics," which led to the meeting's collapse and the executives' departure. He characterized the executives as having been left behind on the political left and suggested they manage "Channel 12 of the left."
Urich criticized the executives for bringing up political matters during a critical security briefing, especially when the Prime Minister was seeking their help in conveying the situation to the Israeli public. He indicated that there were further details about the meeting, both before and after, which he plans to reveal soon.
Urich's account was published on X (formerly Twitter) and has since garnered significant attention, with Urich hinting at more revelations to come regarding the encounter.
