Netanyahu's Chief of Staff Detained in Leak Probe

  • On Sunday, Lahav 433 detained Tzachi Braverman, chief of staff to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on suspicion of obstructing investigative procedures, searching his home before questioning at Lod headquarters.
  • A probe launched last month intensified after Eli Feldstein, Netanyahu's former spokesman, said Braverman knew of an Israel Defense Forces inquiry into a classified leak to Bild.
  • Feldstein described a late-night Kirya meeting where Braverman showed him a list of five or six names and an associate said call records, location data and entry logs could identify Braverman earlier.
  • The investigation has expanded into a classified documents affair involving Ari Rosenfeld and an expected indictment against Jonatan Urich, while Tzachi Braverman has not been formally charged.
  • Braverman, for his part, denies Feldstein's claim he assured the probe could be neutralized; Feldstein told investigators he shared meeting details with Jonatan Urich and is expected to testify Sunday.
