Allegations that a senior aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did public relations work for Qatar while on the premier’s payroll indicate that “there is a suspicion of treason in the Prime Minister’s Office that must be investigated,” The Democrats chairman Yair Golan declares.

According to a report aired Monday by Channel 12 news, Eli Feldstein, a former military spokesman for the prime minister, was employed by a Qatar-funded company to improve public perception of Doha around the Gulf country’s role in hostage deal mediation between Israel and Hamas.
Feldstein is also a key suspect in a scandal surrounding the leak of classified IDF documents to and from the Prime Minister’s Office.

Channel 12’s report revealed “apparent evidence of a business, financial, and personal connection between the Prime Minister’s Office and an enemy state before and during the war,” Golan alleges.

“Netanyahu’s closest advisers — people from the most important office in the State of Israel — who allegedly received payments, maintained connections, and did business with the state that funded Hamas,” he says, calling on the Shin Bet security service and Attorney General’s Office to open a criminal investigation for treason.
