Bennett questions Netanyahu's motives in protecting Urich despite 'Qatargate' investigations

Speaking on a podcast on Friday morning, Bennett addressed the allegations surrounding Yonatan Urich, and criticized the prime minister for continuing to support him.

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett harshly criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over new developments in the Qatargate affair. During an interview, Bennett described the situation as "the most serious act of treason in the history of the State of Israel" and questioned Netanyahu's continued support for Yonatan Urich, a close associate who admitted to meeting with a Qatari official during the war.

Bennett questioned Netanyahu's motives, saying he could not understand how the prime minister could work with someone whose actions posed a threat to Israel's security. He also expressed shock at Netanyahu's apparent loyalty to Urich, despite the risks to the country and its citizens.
