Netanyahu Aides Detained Amid Classified Leak Investigation

A court in Israel has lifted a gag order, revealing Eli Feldstein as the primary suspect in the leaking of classified information from the Prime Minister's Office, which is believed to have endangered national security and negotiations regarding hostages held in Gaza. Feldstein, who worked closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu, is accused of leaking sensitive intelligence to European media, including articles that have since been discredited. The investigation, initiated by Israeli security agencies, raised concerns that the leaks could undermine efforts to secure the release of hostages. Netanyahu has publicly distanced himself from the scandal, denying any wrongdoing from his office, while critics allege the leaks were politically convenient for the Prime Minister. The affair has drawn scrutiny from opposition leaders questioning Netanyahu's role and intentions regarding hostage negotiations. As the investigation continues, several aides to Netanyahu are reportedly consulting legal counsel amid the inquiry.
