Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defends Qatar, stating that it is not an enemy state. He also defends his top aide, Jonatan Urich, who was arrested in the Qatargate investigation. Netanyahu accuses the police of holding Urich to coerce him into testifying against the premier. The investigation was launched after it was revealed that Netanyahu's former spokesman worked for a firm contracted by Qatar to feed Israeli journalists pro-Qatar stories.
