Channel 12 cites a law enforcement official who says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will likely have to be questioned as part of the police’s investigation into alleged illicit conduct by his chief of staff Tzachi Braverman.
The probe is looking into an alleged overnight meeting Braverman set up in the parking lot of the IDF’s military headquarters.
During the meeting, the chief of staff allegedly told former fellow top aide Eli Feldstein that he was aware of what should have been a secret IDF investigation into the leak of classified intelligence and that he had the power to quash it if he wanted.
