Dvir Kariv, a former discipline officer within the Shin Bet‘s (Israel Safety Intelligence) Jewish Division, spoke on 103FM Radio with Udi Segal and Anat Davidov on Sunday concerning the suspicions within the Qatargate affair: “There was a Qatari intelligence operation within the Prime Minister’s Workplace – within the Holy of Holies of the State of Israel.”
Kariv additionally addressed the intense suspicions directed on the prime minister’s advisors within the Qatargate affair.
“What’s superb about this affair is {that a} sensible intelligence train was carried out right here by the Qataris. Each intelligence individual sees the complete course of. There may be identification of candidates for acquisition makes an attempt within the Prime Minister’s Workplace, identification of motives, identification of hyperlinks, identification of weak factors.
“I do not know in the event you bear in mind about Angela Merkel – there is a video of Putin bringing a canine into the workplace as a result of he is aware of she’s afraid of canines. Each senior official has an intelligence file within the varied intelligence businesses. Qatar has an intelligence file on Benjamin Netanyahu and the Prime Minister’s Workplace, identical to they’ve on everybody else. The Qataris recognized weak factors, the weak factors are cash and items, they recognized weak factors from the time of Ayelet Shaked and Bennett, who obtained cash from outdoors within the Prime Minister’s Workplace, they recognized that there was a channel right here that might be exploited.”
Karib warned: “There’s a sensible Qatari operator right here who recognized motives, connections, weak factors, two staff who don’t work straight within the Prime Minister’s Workplace however work as impartial contractors. It is a weak level in two elements: first, from the cash pipeline and second, from ego. Why are they younger, and why are they overseas employees? They’re younger as a result of the position is a bit too large for them. All of the sudden Feldstein, who was Haredi [ultra-Orthodox] and got here to the brand new, secular world, is within the Prime Minister’s Workplace, his ego inflated.”
“We see chaos right here and the start of clandestine exercise. You have got three telephones. Who walks round with three telephones? Above all, we establish a particular operations officer within the Prime Minister’s Workplace who brings into the Prime Minister’s Workplace the Holy of Holies, an individual with out safety clearance who’s operated by the Qataris. It is merely unbelievable. There is a sensible intelligence operation right here within the Holy of Holies of the State of Israel. The truth that the Shin Wager is weakened is a part of the rationale Qatar is ready to benefit from this. It would not have occurred,” he added.
Kariv additionally shared his considerations concerning non-compliance with the Excessive Courtroom ruling and summed up the problem as follows: “I pray that Ronen Bar’s letter will affect the judges of the courtroom. Ronen Bar says, and I consider him 1,000,000 p.c as a result of Nadav Argaman additionally mentioned it and Yoram Cohen mentioned it – the prime minister requested to make use of Shin Wager instruments on Israeli residents, they usually refused. What does this imply? If the appointment of the subsequent Shin Wager head is a puppet appointment or he’s an appearing one, there could also be a scenario the place the Shin Wager head will be unable to say ‘no’ to the Prime Minister when he asks to make use of intelligence instruments.
“Restraining energy within the Shin Wager is without doubt one of the most vital values within the Shin Wager. After we restrain energy, it’s exactly at these factors the place the Shin Wager head says ‘no’ to the prime minister. We’re not a liberal democracy; we’ve been an electoral democracy for 2 years. We’re one second away from dropping Israeli democracy as a result of we’ve a justice minister who is not going to respect the Excessive Courtroom ruling, and we’ve a main minister who’s attempting to nominate a puppet as head of the Shin Wager. I hope the Excessive Courtroom judges will cease this a second earlier than it occurs,” he concluded.
In a dialog that was printed on the “Sheva” program on Kan 11 with Ayala Hasson, the pinnacle of the Jewish division within the Shin Wager was additionally heard speaking to the commander of the Israel Police’s Jewish Division, Lt. Col. Avishai Mualem, when he requested to arrest suspects within the West Financial institution utilizing administrative detention even with out proof.
Kariv criticized the pinnacle of the Jewish division’s remarks however defined that the instrument of administrative detention is meant to forestall terrorism from going down a second earlier than it happens. As well as, he referred to the current occasions within the Qatargate affair and defined his principle on the topic.
First, Kariv warned of a constitutional disaster within the nation if the prime minister didn’t adjust to the Excessive Courtroom ruling on the problem of dismissing the Shin Wager.
“We’re not a reformed nation, we’re a spoiled nation in a means of accelerated deterioration. We perceive that the justice minister has realized nothing from October 7. The State of Israel didn’t perceive what it meant for the Shin Wager to be weakened. If the Shin Wager is weakened, it’s a weak nation, and a weak nation is attacked. In essence, the justice minister is saying [there will be] a constitutional disaster; if he doesn’t settle for the Excessive Courtroom ruling, individuals must ask themselves who they’re listening to, the courtroom or the minister,” he defined.
“A full-blown constitutional disaster, these are the issues that should be talked about. They’re attempting to divert us to all kinds of different issues; they’re spinning all kinds of [narratives] to be able to divert the true and vital issues within the State of Israel.”
He continued: “There are 59 of our individuals within the tunnels – that is vital – whereas Netanyahu is touring on the Danube, the demonstrations, Qatargate, what’s taking place within the Prime Minister’s Workplace, there are such a lot of extra vital issues that they’re always attempting to divert us to speak about different issues.”
“Are individuals being arrested with out proof? After all, that is the uproar”
Secondly, Kariv referred to the dialog in query that was printed on Kan 11 and the phrases mentioned by the pinnacle of the Shin Wager’s Jewish division.
“To start with, I am going to say that you simply should not discuss like that. I heard the dialog – the pinnacle of the non-Arab terrorism division should not discuss like that. You are a consultant of an institution. You are a consultant of the Shin Wager. You should not discuss like that. It sounds extra like a dialog between two colleagues. I feel the pinnacle of the division thought that the Shi’a district have been his colleagues.
“Concerning whether or not persons are being arrested with out proof? After all. That is the uproar. Once you see so many ministers directly saying, ‘The non-Arab terrorism division ought to be closed,’ there’s uproar over nothing. After all, they’re being arrested with out proof,” Kariv claimed.
“What does the Shin Wager do? The Shin Wager is a counterintelligence company. Counterintelligence is counterterrorism. To counterterrorism, you do it primarily based on intelligence data, not proof. Is it conceivable that you’d hear about Ahmed from Nablus that he’s on his solution to commit a terrorist assault, would not you cease him? You would definitely cease him. That is what occurs within the non-Arab division as properly.
“You probably have intelligence details about people who find themselves going to commit terrorism, you cease them, in fact. With out proof? After all. Due to this fact, if there isn’t any proof they usually stay silent through the investigation, which is what occurs on a regular basis, you might be pressured to detain them in administrative detention if you understand that they’re on their solution to commit a terrorist assault,” he later added.
“Thwarting frustration” – Info was handed on, however nobody was arrested
Kariv continued: “What you heard right here on this dialog is a non-Arab brigade chief asking the Israel Police to purchase time. Why purchase time? In order that the protection minister can signal an administrative arrest as a result of he is aware of that there are hill-top youth on their solution to perform an assault, they usually should be thwarted. That is how the Shin Wager works. It hasn’t occurred like this since right now; it has been taking place like this because the Shin Wager was established. Each intelligence group makes arrests primarily based on intelligence and never on proof.
“It is now, in my view, as a result of they’ve this bullet within the journal to distract us from speaking about the primary factor. There are such a lot of extra vital issues to speak about than this telephone dialog. Once more, I am going to begin by saying he should not have spoken like that. A senior Shin Wager director speaks like that. Even when he is pissed off, and we hear inside the Shin Wager what’s referred to as ‘thwarting frustration.’ They handed data to the police and the military about rioters who entered a village – however they weren’t in a position to thwart or arrest anybody, so he is pissed off.”
Kariv additional emphasised: “Lastly, he conveyed correct details about terrorist exercise that’s going down they usually have been unable to thwart it, so he’s pissed off. ‘Let it go now in order that we do not speak about what Udi Levy’ mentioned the pinnacle of the ‘Tzlatsel’ unit. He mentioned very critical and really right issues, in my view. Do not speak about Qatargate, do not speak about the truth that the prime minister is in Israel and never overseas on Independence Day when 59 persons are with out freedom in tunnels.
“That is in order that we do not speak about this stuff. Then they leak one thing and make an enormous fuss over nothing. What do you imply the Shin Wager would not arrest primarily based on proof? After all, the Shin Wager would not arrest primarily based on proof; it is the Shin Wager. It arrests primarily based on intelligence data to thwart assaults like some other intelligence group on the planet. There’s nothing totally different about it, neither within the non-Arab sector nor within the real Arab sector,” he later claimed.
