Summary

An Israeli court partially lifted a gag order on a case investigating Eli Feldstein, a media adviser to Prime Minister Netanyahu, over alleged leaks of classified information.

The leaks reportedly influenced articles suggesting Hamas aimed to prolong hostage negotiations, indirectly supporting Netanyahu’s stance in cease-fire talks.

Critics argue these leaks provided political cover as Netanyahu faced intense public scrutiny over the negotiations.

Netanyahu denied involvement and dismissed the affair’s significance, while a police, military, and Shin Bet investigation continues, with critics calling it a significant breach impacting national security and the Gaza conflict’s goals.

    Did anyone actually believe that Netanyahu wasn’t the one sabotaging the peace talks? Or is this something Israelis believed thanks to the insane level of propoganda?

      At least not everyone:

      Israeli media and other observers expressed skepticism about the articles, which appeared to support Netanyahu’s demands in the talks and absolve him of blame for their failure.
