An appeals court overturns a lower court’s decision to release Jonatan Urich from custody, ordering him to remain detained until Monday as suspicions against him “significantly strengthened in the past day.”
The judge also orders an end to the house arrest of Eli Feldstein, another key suspect in the so-called Qatargate affair, who is a defendant in a case involving the leak of classified documents to and from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
