Netanyahu aide leaks may have harmed hostage talks, court says

Politics

A mother whose son is being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza has accused Israel's government of "a cynical deception operation that is taken from dark regimes", after it emerged a government spokesperson had been arrested for allegedly leaking documents that may have undermined a ceasefire and hostage release deal. It came after a court in Rishon LeZion said Eli Feldstein and three others were under investigation for feeding stories to European newspapers. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Radio also reported a fifth arrest in connection with the probe, said to be a major in the military's intelligence branch information security department, tasked with preventing and investigating leaks.
