Haaretz journalist Chaim Levinson was fired from his position at the newspaper after it was revealed that he worked for Perception company owned by consultant Shrulik Einhorn - who is involved in the "Qatar-gate" affair. According to Haaretz, Levinson received approximately 200,000 shekels for his work. The journalist wrote on X: "The side work with Einhorn ended in 2024, all the writing I did was not related in any way to my journalistic work. I made a serious mistake for which I apologize. Although I stopped the connection, I did not include full disclosure. I never did any work for Qatar and did not know about the connection between Einhorn and them."
