A court has extended the remand of a spokesman working with the Prime Minister’s Office by one day, following his arrest last month for the alleged leak of army intelligence documents.
Eli Feldstein, a Netanyahu aide who previously served in the IDF’s Spokesperson’s Unit, is suspected of having worked with four intelligence soldiers to steal top-secret intelligence and leak it to the foreign press in a distorted manner that would dovetail with the premier’s talking points against a hostage deal with Hamas. He has been held in detention since October 27. Three of the four soldiers are also understood to still be held, while one has been released. A gag order covers some aspects of the case.
