An aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is among the suspects arrested for an alleged security breach involving “classified and sensitive” intelligence taken illegally from Israeli Defense Forces, an Israeli judge said on Sunday.
The arrests of four suspects, including Netanyahu spokesperson Eli Feldstein, are at the center of what is likely to be the biggest scandal inside the Israeli government since the beginning of the war in Gaza.
The alleged leak of top secret information could have caused “significant damage” to efforts to free hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, the judge said.
