Yonatan Urich, advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, addressed the private WhatsApp correspondence that was circulated on social media. He wrote on X: "A statement on behalf of my lawyers, Amit Hadad and Noa Milstein: Whoever hacked into Yonatan Urich's WhatsApp and published personal correspondence while adding and altering the conversations - will pay the full price. This will also happen to anyone who publishes, distributes or shares messages. Anyone who does so is committing a criminal offense and a personal lawsuit will be filed against them."
