Report: Aide Feldstein showed PM classified intel before it was illegally leaked to German daily

The Kan public broadcaster reports that Eli Feldstein shared allegedly stolen classified intelligence with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before its contents were leaked to the German Bild daily.
Thus far, Netanyahu has not been implicated directly in the scandal that has landed Feldstein behind bars, but Kan suggests that the premier may have even directed the aide to leak the classified intelligence in order to skew the public debate regarding a hostage deal in his favor.
Kan says that Netanyahu expressed interest in the document that Feldstein brought to his attention.
