The Tel Aviv District Court eases the house arrest conditions for Eli Feldstein, the former military spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is a defendant in the classified documents affair and a suspect in the Qatargate investigation.

Judge Ala Masarwa rules that Feldstein can leave his home during the daytime if accompanied by a designated individual, but must remain under house arrest during the night.

Implementation of the ruling is delayed, however, in order to allow the State Attorney’s Office to appeal to the Supreme Court.
