Police seek to continue house arrests of PM’s aides, accuse one of obstruction of justice

Police have requested that a Rishon Lezion court extend the house arrest of Jonatan Urich, aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and of Netanyahu’s former spokesman Eli Feldstein, by 21 days.
In the so-called Qatargate affair, Urich and Feldstein are suspected of multiple offenses tied to their alleged work for a pro-Qatar lobbying firm, including contact with a foreign agent and a series of corruption charges involving lobbyists and businessmen.
Urich is also now accused of obstruction of justice, reports say.
