The Hostages' Families Headquarters submitted a request to State Attorney Amit Isman and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on behalf of the hostages' families, asking that they be recognized as victims of offense and be included as a party in the criminal proceedings against Jonathan Urich, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's advisor who was charged in the "Qatar-Gate" affair. "Urich's actions posed a concrete and immediate danger to the lives of the hostages who were in Gaza at that time," the Headquarters stated. "The purpose of the request is to uncover the truth and prevent the obstruction of additional deals through a thorough investigation of the alleged offenses."
