Netanyahu Makes Final Media Push Ahead of Knesset Elections as Secret Meetings Surface
Hours before the Knesset elections, Prime Minister Netanyahu appeared on television as reports surfaced regarding a secret 2024 meeting with a former Mossad official linked to Qatar.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared on the television program "The Patriots" just hours before the 26th Knesset elections in a final push to boost support for himself and the Likud party. Accompanied by his wife, Sara Netanyahu, during a recent media blitz, the Prime Minister faced questions from host Yinon Magal.
During the broadcast, a circulating clip captured Sara Netanyahu engaged in a private conversation where she forcefully dismissed the criminal indictments against her husband, stating angrily, "It is all a lie."
Meanwhile, reports revealed that a secret meeting took place in the summer of 2024 between Prime Minister Netanyahu and a former senior Mossad official linked to the Qatar-gate affair. The official, identified as a key figure in Qatari influence operations in Israel, reportedly urged Netanyahu to temper ministers' harsh rhetoric against Doha during the ongoing conflict.
Investigators from Lahav 433 suspect that Jonatan Urich, a close adviser to the Prime Minister, facilitated the undisclosed meeting. According to the findings, Urich and Israel Einhorn maintained close ties with the former intelligence official, who allegedly coordinated meetings with Qatari officials abroad to promote the "Lighthouse" image-clearing project.
