Yonatan Urich, an advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, revealed details on Tuesday of a meeting that took place shortly after the October 7th attacks. The meeting, held at the Prime Minister's office in Tel Aviv, included Netanyahu and two senior News 12 executives, Avi Weiss and Guy Sodri. According to Urich's account on social media platform X, the discussion initially focused on the security situation, threat assessments, and operational plans for Israel's security, as presented by Netanyahu.
However, Urich claims the conversation shifted to political matters, with one of the News 12 executives suggesting that Netanyahu should consider bringing opposition leader Yair Lapid into the government. Urich expressed strong disapproval of this political turn during a critical security discussion, stating, "This is what they had to say in these fateful moments when the Prime Minister asked them to reflect the situation to the Israeli public." He recounted slamming his hand on the table and declaring, "This is not the time for politics."
Following the confrontation, Urich stated that the meeting was abruptly ended, and the two News 12 executives departed. Urich concluded his post with a political critique of the executives and the news channel, which he labeled "Leftist Channel 12." He asserted that the executives remain politically aligned in the same way even three years later.
Urich hinted that this was not the full story, indicating that more details about the meeting and related events would be revealed soon, stating, "There were other things in the meeting, there were other things before and after it. More details soon."
