New Details Emerge on Gadi Eizenkot Advisor’s Ties to Qatar Amid Campaign Controversy

Recent investigations by Channel 14 News have revealed new information about Amir Adaki, a close advisor to former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot, and his connections to Qatar through the company Perception. Although campaign statements emphasized that Adaki was neither an employee nor a partner of Perception, the inquiry found that he was a central figure in the company for seven years, serving as a key aide to CEO Shrolik Einhorn. Adaki provided services and invoiced the company independently, similar to Jonathan Orich, who is also implicated in the Qatar-related controversy.

Adaki was significantly involved in Perception’s campaign work for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, receiving payments linked to the campaign. This involvement raises questions about the nature of his financial ties to Qatar, despite official denials. Perception and Eizenkot’s camp maintain that Adaki never directly engaged with Qatari officials or received money from Qatar itself, framing his role as that of an independent creative director serving multiple clients.

The controversy centers on allegations that a close advisor to the Prime Minister worked for a foreign state during sensitive times, including wartime, and that Qatar transferred funds to Hamas against the Israeli security establishment’s stance. This has intensified political pressure within the Likud party and among voters seeking accountability and reform.

The key issue remains whether providing services to a Qatar-related campaign through a company constitutes receiving money from Qatar. The story continues to unfold as investigations and political debates proceed.
