The Lod District Court has rejected a police appeal, allowing Jonatan Urich, a central suspect in the Qatargate affair, to resume work with the Likud party. Urich had previously been barred from working in the Prime Minister's Office and contacting its employees due to suspicions of paid public relations work for Qatar while employed by the prime minister. The court's decision permits Urich to meet with senior Likud officials, despite police concerns about potential overlap between the party and the Prime Minister's Office. The case, which also involves former spokesman Eli Feldstein, centers on allegations of contact with a foreign agent and breach of trust related to pro-Qatari activities.
