The State Attorney's Office filed an amended indictment today (Thursday) in the case of the classified documents leaked to Bild, in which the Prime Minister's advisor, Yonatan Urich, was added as a defendant alongside Eli Feldstein and against reservist Ari Rosenfeld.

Shortly thereafter, a bitter exchange between Feldstein and Urich developed on social media.

Feldstein published a response post on his behalf in which he wrote bitingly, paraphrasing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response video: "On behalf of Eli Feldstein, it was stated in response to the indictment filed today: 'I know Yonatan Urich, he is an Israeli patriot, an ardent Zionist, there is no chance in the world that he would have done anything intentionally to endanger the security of the state.'".

However, the post immediately provoked a response from Urich, who chose to respond with his own sting: "Hold on, brother, is this from a senior political source or a senior security official?".

His words are, of course, attributed to the method in which Feldstein operated and used to publish things, sometimes even seemingly untrue, in the name of a "senior security official.".
