New details in the BibiLeaks case reveal the PM's spokesperson and three security officials are suspected of leaking classified information to harm national security, a severe espionage offense. The court approved publication of this development following a Haaretz request
An investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesperson revealed he shared a classified document with foreign media to sway public opinion in Israel against protests supporting a hostage release deal, arguing the demonstrations hurt negotiations and aided Hamas.
The Rishon Lezion Magistrate's Court cleared the details for publication on Sunday, following a Haaretz request.
The document was sent to the German newspaper Bild via a third party linked to the Prime Minister's Office.
The court also permitted the publication of allegations that Eli Feldstein, Netanyahu's spokesperson, along with three security officials, is suspected of disclosing classified information with intent to harm state security – a serious espionage offense punishable by life imprisonment –and conspiring to commit a crime.
A reservist, identified as one of the primary suspects alongside Feldstein, provided a document with the second-highest security classification, a classified as such to protect the sources of the information.
The reservist sent the file to Feldstein via social media, who then passed it to a Channel 12 journalist. The journalist forwarded it to the military censor, which blocked publication. Feldstein then bypassed the censor, arranging for Bild to publish it.
At the same time, Feldstein alerted Israeli journalists and urged them to report on the article once it appeared in Bild....
Amid widespread protests over the government's handling of the hostage deal, Feldstein allegedly shared the documents to redirect public discourse, pinning blame on Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
A third suspect, a reservist with the rank of Major, allegedly passed Feldstein a separate intelligence-related diplomatic document. A fourth figure, a soldier in the information security unit also serving in another agency, is accused of knowing about the leaks but failing to report them....
The reservist testified that Feldstein presented himself as being very close to the prime minister and as someone with high-level security clearance.
The investigator in the case stated during the hearing, "There is no dispute that the transfer of materials and information by the suspect was to someone in the Prime Minister's Office."...
...The police have also requested to investigate another suspect, Netanyahu aide Srulik Einhorn, who is currently overseas. Einhorn is considered to be well connected outside of Israel...
