Likud spokesman Guy Levy claimed in a post published on X that Eli Feldstein, former spokesperson of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "never served as the Prime Minister's spokesman and was not employed in the Prime Minister's Office." In the shadow of the exposed correspondence between Netanyahu's advisor Jonathan Urich and Feldstein, Levy claimed that "the Prime Minister had almost no contact with him (Feldstein), did not include him in discussions. Feldstein was employed by the CEO of the Prime Minister's Office, and after his employment ended, he worked as an external consultant for the National Public Diplomacy Directorate." According to him, "senior officials in the security establishment tried from time to time to insert praise for Qatar into the Prime Minister's speeches, and the Prime Minister firmly refused."
