Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara announced on Thursday that a decision has been made to launch an investigation into connections between officials in the Prime Minister’s Office and individuals linked to Qatar.
According to Baharav-Miara, during a discussion attended by the state attorney, the head of the Israel Police’s Investigations and Intelligence Division, and Shin Bet professionals, information was presented regarding ties between individuals operating within the Prime Minister’s Office and entities associated with Qatar. As a result, it was decided to initiate an investigation.
The probe will be conducted by the Shin Bet and the police. Authorities believe the suspicions against the Prime Minister’s Office officials involve abuse of power and actions taken while in a conflict of interest.
