A court extends the custody of Eli Feldstein, an aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicted on charges of harming state security, as part of the security documents scandal that has roiled the Prime Minister’s Office in recent weeks.
Feldstein, together with an IDF reservist non-commissioned officer charged with transferring classified information who has not been identified, will remain in police custody until Wednesday, the court rules.
Feldstein has already spent over three weeks in detention after being arrested on October 27 and was put on suicide watch earlier this week after it was reported that prison guards found a rubber strip in his cell that he could have used to hang himself.
