Opposition Leader Yair Lapid testified in the ongoing Qatargate investigation, detailing concerns over alleged payments from Qatar to advisers in the Prime Minister's Office. Lapid emphasized that such payments are not only improper but also pose a significant threat to state security, especially given Qatar's support for terror groups. His testimony, which lasted about half an hour, also covered the proper procedures expected in the Prime Minister's Office and referenced a meeting in Paris involving Qatari representatives and families of Gaza hostages. The Qatargate affair centers on suspicions that senior aides to the prime minister engaged in corrupt actions and maintained contact with foreign agents while working for a pro-Qatar lobbying firm.
