The latest revelations in the Qatargate affair – the allegedly criminal correspondence between Eli Feldstein, Srulik Einhorn and Yonatan Urich, in which they "manufactured reality," as revealed by i24 News and public broadcaster Kan's interview with Feldstein – has been capped for now by Channel 12's Yossi Mizrachi reporting that Likud is covering the cost of Urich's legal defense. Almost 2 million shekels ($628,000) of the public's money – so far – has been spent on the suspect and his lawyers, even before an indictment was filed.
