A confrontation between the head of the police investigation and intelligence department and a female attorney.
According to a report by Avishai Greenzig, legal commentator for the i24NEWS channel, after the police announced their decision to summon former Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman for questioning, the head of the police's Investigations and Intelligence Division expressed his opinion on the 'Qatar-Gate' investigation.
""I don't understand what the crime is being investigated in the Qatar-Gate case," the police chief told the attorney general. "This case is not progressing because it is not at all clear what the crime we are supposed to be investigating is.".

The police recently issued a blanket gag order on the investigation into the affair, which is supposed to focus on the alleged connection between Netanyahu's advisers and Qatar - and instructed that the goal is actually to prevent leaks from the prosecutor's office.

The police said: "The quote is false.".
Regarding the Justice Ministry's response, Greenzig tweeted: "Initially, the legal advisor to the government and the state attorney responded: 'We don't comment.' Then they said: 'That's a lie.'".
He emphasized: "The advertisement is true and accurate. Now a third response has been provided: 'This is an incorrect advertisement. There was no conversation as described.'".
The legal commentator added sarcastically: "We will wait for the fourth response.".
