Former defense minister Moshe Ya’alon says that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to sue him for alleging that he received money from Qatar shows that the premier “is feeling the pressure” of the investigations into ties between Qatar and members of the Prime Minister’s Office.

“I hear that Hamas’s financier intends to sue me,” says Ya’alon, referring to the millions of dollars sent to Hamas by Doha each month in the years leading up to October 7, 2023, with Netanyahu’s blessing. “Someone is feeling the pressure of the Shin Bet investigation, which has been put under gag order.”

“The messianic, evasive, and corrupt government must be replaced as soon as possible, in order to save the country,” Ya’alon adds.
