SHOCKING ADMISSION: How Qatar “Infiltrated” Netanyahu’s Office and Why No One is Stopping It
"I was ashamed." Former Mossad official Udi Levy slams the return of Yonatan Urich to Netanyahu's office, warning of "terrible" Qatari penetration into Israel's heart of power. Read the full report on the escalating 'Qatargate' scandal.
A former high-ranking Mossad official has issued a scathing critique of the political establishment following the return of Yonatan Urich to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s inner circle. The move comes as the "Qatargate" investigation continues to rock the Prime Minister’s Office.
“Strategic Damage” to the State
Udi Levy, the former head of the Mossad's "Cilcel" unit, which specialized in economic warfare and tracking terror funding, did not hold back in an interview with Radio 103fm.
"I was ashamed. I have no other words," Levy stated, reacting to the news that Urich had been cleared to return to his post. "It pained me even more that I didn't see a substantive reaction from the public. People still don't understand the terrible significance of Qatari penetration into the Prime Minister's Office."
Levy warned that the lack of public outcry suggests a failure to grasp the "strategic damage" caused by the alleged breach, framing it as a major national security failure.
The Iran-Qatar Connection
Levy’s warnings extended beyond the Prime Minister’s Office to the broader regional conflict. He argued that even as Israel remains locked in a war with Iran, Qatar continues to act aggressively against Israeli interests.
"Qatar is doing everything it can to assist the Iranians," Levy claimed. "They have a special relationship. For years, Qatar helped Iran bypass sanctions and survive, and right now, it is actively trying to save the Iranian regime."
The Qatargate Shadow
The "Qatargate" affair centers on allegations of improper influence and the mishandling of sensitive intelligence related to Qatari involvement in Israeli policy-making. The return of Urich, a longtime Netanyahu confidant and media strategist, has reignited claims that the administration is prioritizing political loyalty over security integrity.
While the Prime Minister's Office has defended the reinstatement, Levy’s comments reflect a growing rift between the political echelon and former members of the security establishment who view the Qatari influence as an existential threat to Israeli sovereignty.
