Because of the former Mossad chief: the decision in the QatarGate affair - after the elections

The QatarGate affair: A principled decision to file indictments against Prime Minister's advisors Yonatan Urich and Eli Feldstein and associate Shrulik Einhorn exists, but the process is delayed due to an incident involving former Mossad chief Dedi Barnea. A new opinion from the Mossad does not support the position of the Attorney General and the State Prosecutor's Office, so the indictment will not be filed before the elections.

The QatarGate affair: Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and the State Prosecutor's Office have made a principled decision to file indictments against Prime Minister's advisors Yonatan Urich and Eli Feldstein, as well as against the close associate Shrulik Einhorn. However, the process is delayed due to a significant incident involving former Mossad chief Dedi Barnea. Just before his retirement, Barnea spoke out against the case in a closed conversation that was leaked. This forced the State Prosecutor's Office to request a new opinion from the Mossad. The new opinion received did not support the previous opinion of the Attorney General and the State Prosecutor's Office, causing repeated delays. From the perspective of Baharav-Miara and the State Prosecutor's Office, there is a willingness to file the indictment even a week before the elections, but due to the delays, it appears the indictment will not be filed before the elections. In June, i24NEWS commentator Avishai Grinzaig revealed that the State Prosecutor's Office is forming a decision to file a broad indictment in the case, which would also include a former senior Mossad official and reserve Major General Puli Mordechai. The final decision depends on the completion of the Mossad's security opinion.
