09:37โขClassified Information Leak Added To Qatargate Charges
โจThe newspapers report extensively on developments in the "Qatargate" investigation, as police request a 9-day extension for the detention of Netanyahu's aides Yonatan Urich and Eli Feldstein (13tv, Haaretz, n12, Times, Ynet, i24NEWS, Kipa, Walla, Maariv). A serious new allegation has emerged against Urich - suspicion of "transferring classified information" to an American lobbyist working for Qatar (13tv, n12, Times, Ynet, Walla). The court is also deciding whether to lift a gag order on case details, with Urich's attorneys requesting full disclosure while police oppose it (Makor Rishon, now14, Kan, Israel Hayom, i24NEWS). Separately, the IDF revealed the identity of a Hezbollah operative eliminated in Beirut who was directing Hamas militants planning attacks against Israelis (INN, Davar, Times).
