Israel’s internal security service (Shin Bet) has not yet transferred a substantial intelligence assessment to the State Prosecutor’s Office that is intended to help determine the severity of security-related charges against suspects in the Qatargate affair.

The delay comes as investigators deliberate on charges against the accused individuals. Regarding suspect Yonatan Urich, investigators are leaning towards filing an indictment on charges including fraud, breach of trust, and security violations.

The withholding of the Shin Bet assessment represents a critical juncture in the high-profile investigation, which has significant national security implications for Israel.
