Eli Feldstein, an aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was indicted on charges of harming state security, illicit possession of classified information, and obstruction of justice. The charges stem from allegations that Feldstein leaked classified documents to reduce public pressure on Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire-for-hostage deal with Hamas. Netanyahu has stated that the leaks, which originated from within the inner cabinet, negotiating team, and sensitive bodies in Israel, have caused significant harm to the nation's security and reputation. He highlighted the leak of photos of detained Sedi Teman as a glaring example of the damage caused by these leaks.
