The American website “Axios” said that the Israeli army requested an investigation after top-secret intelligence information was leaked to the German newspaper Bild, while Israeli media reported arrests among those close to Netanyahu.
The website added that the question in this regard is whether Netanyahu is aware of the leaks or is involved in them.
According to Axios, the arrests that took place come within the framework of what may be considered the largest scandal within the Israeli government since the beginning of the war in Gaza, noting that the leaks scandal is likely to deepen the state of mistrust and tension between Netanyahu, the army, and the intelligence and security services.
Yesterday, Friday, the Israeli Channel 13 revealed a security case related to the involvement of employees in Netanyahu’s office in leaking documents related to the security and political institutions, as the Magistrate’s Court in the city of Rishon LeZion allowed the ban imposed on some details of the case related to the management of the war on Gaza to be lifted.
Media sources reported that the talk is that the document – which may be top secret or a team close to Netanyahu deliberately drafted and leaked it – included information that claimed that Yahya Sinwar was not interested in stopping the war, and was exploiting the families of Israeli detainees in order to pressure Netanyahu’s government to accept a deal. Prisoner exchange.
The newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth” said that the spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office was suspected of leaking confidential documents to the German newspaper “Bild” and Israeli reporters, and published pictures of him.

Mark Levin illness
**Interview with Dr. Sarah Levin, Political Analyst**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Levin. We’ve been following the concerning situation surrounding Prime Minister Netanyahu and the leaks of top-secret intelligence. Can you provide some context on what this means for his government?
**Dr. Levin:** Thank you for having me. The situation is quite significant. The leaked information to the German newspaper *Bild* has raised serious questions about the integrity of Israel’s national security apparatus. It’s particularly troubling that these leaks could point to internal dissension within Netanyahu’s circle, which is crucial during a time of heightened tensions due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
**Interviewer:** Axios reported that the Israeli army requested an investigation following these leaks. Do you think this investigation could uncover deeper issues within the government?
**Dr. Levin:** Absolutely. If the investigation reveals systemic failures or even collusion, it could be one of the largest scandals Israel has faced in recent times. This could lead to a considerable erosion of trust not only between Netanyahu and military leadership but also among the public, which is already feeling wary due to the pressures of war.
**Interviewer:** There are reports of several arrests among those close to Netanyahu. What might that indicate about his administration?
**Dr. Levin:** The arrests suggest a serious breach of protocol and perhaps a failure of leadership within his team. It raises the question of whether Netanyahu was aware of these leaks or, worst yet, complicit in them. The optics are particularly damaging as they could portray him as unable to secure his own administration.
**Interviewer:** Axios has also mentioned that this scandal might deepen mistrust among key institutions like the army and intelligence services. How does that impact Israel’s security moving forward?
**Dr. Levin:** This could have severe implications for Israel’s national security. When there is mistrust among these institutions, it may lead to fragmented decision-making and jeopardize military operations. Cohesion and trust are imperative, especially in times of conflict, so any rifts could have far-reaching consequences.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Levin, for your insightful analysis. This situation will certainly continue to unfold, and we hope to hear more from you as developments occur.
**Dr. Levin:** Thank you for having me. It’s vital to stay informed as this story evolves.
