Investigation against ex-IDF chief reportedly to be closed
Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein is closing the investigation case against former chief of staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, Channel 2 reports.
The file is part of a case called the Harpaz Affair, in which Ashkenazi was suspected of handing over to journalists top secret military information, as well as delaying in giving to the police the Harpaz file, a document containing instructions on how to play up the profile of Yoav Galant, then a top general (and today the Housing Minister and member of Kulanu party) and dismiss other contenders competing to succeed Ashkenazi as chief of staff.
The document was later revealed to be a forgery.
