Maj. Gen. (res.) Yoav (Poli) Mordechai was questioned on Thursday in the affair linking Qatar to senior aides and associates in the Prime Minister's Office, and released on conditions that include suspension from his position as the deputy to the Israel Defense Force's Missing and Captive Soldiers Division, headed by Maj. Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon.
Suspicions against Mordechai have recently grown stronger, according to a law enforcement official who spoke with Haaretz.
"Throughout my entire career, I had always been strict with the provisions of the law, and I have assisted the State of Israel whenever necessary," Mordechai stated in response. "Here too, even though everything was done openly, transparently, and reported as mandated by law," I will do whatever is necessary to assist law enforcement authorities to reach the truth, and will act in accordance with their instructions, if only due to the fact that reaching the truth will prove no flaw was found in the conduct."
Mordechai was summoned for questioning after Haaretz revealed in May that the connection between Qatar and Israel Einhorn and Yonatan Urich was conducted through a British company owned by a former Mossad officer suspected in the affair.
