Ksenia Svetlova: "The QatarGate case borders on treason"

Ksenia Svetlova stated that Netanyahu could not have been unaware of the anti-Egyptian campaign run from his office on behalf of Qatar, which borders on treason. Arab allies are waiting for a change of power in Israel.

Ksenia Svetlova, a former Knesset member and expert at the Chatham House institute, said in an interview with Vesti studio that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could not have been unaware of the anti-Egyptian campaign run from his office on behalf of Qatar. According to her, this could have pushed Israel into conflict with Egypt, the largest Arab country in the Middle East. Svetlova called keeping Uriha in the position of advisor without security clearance from Shin Bet a situation "that can be equated with treason against state interests." She also noted that Israel's Arab allies are counting the seconds until a change of power in Jerusalem, hoping for the formation of a responsible government without far-right parties.
