With a Jab at Eisenkot, Urih Responds to District Court Ruling

Yonatan Urich responded today, Thursday, on his X account to the District Court’s decision in his case, while also taking a swipe at Gadi Eisenkot. Earlier today, after Ronen Tzur tweeted, “Urich will turn state witness,” the prime minister’s adviser replied, “No.”

As noted, after the prosecution filed the amended indictment that includes Yonatan Urich, along with a request to bar him from the Prime Minister’s Office, the District Court rejected the request, meaning Urich will be allowed to continue coming to the office. According to the judge, “I was not convinced that there is dangerousness or obstruction here מצד respondent Urich,” and therefore “the request must be denied.”

Earlier today, the prosecution filed an amended indictment in the classified documents case, adding the prime minister’s adviser, Yonatan Urich, as a defendant alongside Eli Feldstein and reserve soldier Ari Rosenfeld. In addition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, head of the National Public Diplomacy Directorate Moshik Aviv, and the consul general in Miami, Tsuri Siso, who previously served as director general of Likud, are also expected to testify.

Along with the indictment, the prosecution asked to impose restrictive conditions on Urich until the end of the proceedings, including a ban on contact with those involved in the case, including prosecution witnesses. Among the prosecution witnesses on the list is also Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
