State Attorney's Office may forbid PM's office from admitting Qatargate suspects

The State Attorney's Office is considering instructing the Prime Minister's Office to bar key suspects in the Qatargate case, including aides Jonatan Urich and Eli Feldstein, from entering the office. This development was revealed during a High Court of Justice hearing on a petition demanding that anyone suspected in the scandal be prohibited from working at the Prime Minister's Office and that clear employment procedures be established for officials lacking security clearance. Urich, who remains on the Likud payroll, has sought to return to work at the Prime Minister's Office after being released from house arrest, but a court extended a ban on his return due to ongoing investigations into alleged offenses involving funds from Qatar. Both Urich and Feldstein reportedly worked at the Prime Minister's Office without the necessary security clearance, raising concerns about security protocols and the exposure of sensitive state information.
