Lapid accuses Netanyahu of leaking cabinet meeting debates during Gaza war

Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of having leaked statements from security cabinet meetings during the 2014 Gaza war after the latter claimed he “does not believe in leaks.”

Ministers have accused one another of leaking a conversation between IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot and Education Minister Naftali Bennett yesterday, with the latter calling on fellow security cabinet members to take polygraph tests to prevent future leaks.

Netanyahu expressed his distaste for leaks to fellow Likud lawmakers earlier today in an effort to assert that they did not come from his office.
