The Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court has instructed Kan news to provide police with the full materials from its interview with Qatargate suspect Eli Feldstein, rejecting the news outlet’s position against such action. The court has also instructed Kan to provide the materials to the attorney of fellow suspect Jonatan Urich.
Feldstein’s bombshell interview with Kan last month, in which he made fresh allegations against Urich as well as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, led police to seek to investigate his latest claims. Kan objected to providing the raw materials from the interview, calling it “a violation of journalistic sources and a violation of privacy.”
There is no immediate word on whether the network will appeal the decision.
