Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asks Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to join the petition to have the gag order lifted on the ongoing investigation into the leak of classified documents from the Prime Minister’s Office, his office says in a statement.

A court will rule today on whether the partial gag order on the scandal can be lifted.
