Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is expected to charge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s aides, Jonatan Urich and Eli Feldstein, with national security offenses in the "Qatargate affair," according to Channel 13 news. A former senior Mossad official is also expected to be charged. Justice Ministry officials believe there is "sufficient evidence" for charges including contact with a foreign agent and corrupt actions related to pro-Qatar lobbying. Urich and Feldstein were arrested and questioned in March 2025, and Urich was separately indicted in June for leaking classified information to the press. The aides are also suspected of leaking Israeli concerns about Egypt's role in Gaza negotiations to Qatar, which then allegedly used the information to undermine Cairo and promote Doha's negotiating position.
