Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett attacked PM Netanyahu on X following the indictment of Uriq, an aide accused of Qatari ties. Bennett said Netanyahu knows the aide remaining in his office harms Israeli security, but 'fears Uriq and cannot act,' adding 'Soon we will replace him and fix things.'
The source Telegram message reports a statement by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, posted to his X account, reacting to the indictment of an aide identified as "Uriq" (also vocalized as Orich). The indictment reportedly accuses Uriq of ties to Qatar, which Bennett describes as a security risk. Bennett claims Netanyahu is aware of the risk but is afraid of Uriq and therefore unable to dismiss him. The message does not name Eli Feldstein, nor does it provide the full legal context of the indictment. The Zioneer has previously covered Bennett's broader criticism of the government's security stance (June 8), but this is a new, specific attack tied to the Uriq indictment.
