Police have again arrested Jonatan Urich, one of the main suspects in the so-called Qatargate probe, as he was set to be released from house arrest this morning, according to Hebrew media reports.

Reports say Urich, one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s senior aides, was rearrested following an additional interrogation that took place yesterday evening.

He is expected to be brought before a judge this morning for a hearing on the extension of his arrest.
