Feldstein says he was 'used' for Qatari interests, without realizing it at the time

Eli Feldstein, former spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has stated that he was unknowingly used to advance Qatari interests during his tenure. Feldstein, along with Netanyahu aide Jonatan Urich and former campaign adviser Yisrael Einhorn, is under investigation for alleged connections between senior Israeli officials and Qatar. In a public interview, Feldstein claimed he was taken advantage of by Urich and Einhorn, saying he had no idea his actions could have supported foreign influence. He recounted passing along pro-Qatari messages and facilitating media contacts, believing them to be legitimate, and described unusual salary payments that did not initially raise his suspicions. Feldstein expressed regret, acknowledging the possibility that his work may have inadvertently aided Qatari officials, but maintained he was unaware of any wrongdoing at the time.
