PM’s office says none of its staff has been arrested in probe over leak of classified intel

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issues a statement asserting that no one on its staff has been arrested as part of the joint Shin Bet-IDF-Israel Police investigation into the leak of classified intelligence.

A Rishon Lezion court has partially lifted a gag order over the investigation, saying that several suspects have been arrested but did not specify whether any of them were Netanyahu’s aides.

Some reporters are pointing out on social media that Netanyahu has aides working for him who aren’t formally employed by his office.
