Commentator Yaakov Bardugo, who is close to Netanyahu, criticized what was raised regarding the leak of documents, saying: “They are robbing the authority of investigation, selective implementation, and everything in order to reach Netanyahu.”
He pointed out, according to him, “the attempt to change the authorities that undertake investigation operations into the hands of the Shin Bet and the army, leading to changing the government in Israel after a round of successes achieved by Netanyahu, after (the assassination of Hassan) Nasrallah and (Yahya) Sinwar, in Yemen and Iran.” .
Bardugo considered that “the force that is supposed to maintain rule in Israel is trying to create a new reality here.”
He said: “A force to corrupt, a selective force that chooses the mission itself, and this is not the first time.”
The information received after the scandal of leaking sensitive documents from the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed new details about the main culprit, revealing that he had previously worked for Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
The Israeli court that allowed the publication stated that Eli Feldstein, the main defendant in the security case, had started working in Netanyahu’s office a year ago and was 32 years old.
The information indicated that Feldstein was in the Israeli army, specifically in the office of the army media spokesman.
Earlier on Sunday, Israel allowed Feldstein’s name to be published, noting that three other people from the security establishment had been arrested.

**Interview with Yaakov Bardugo: Analyzed Controversies in Israeli Politics**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Yaakov. Your recent comments regarding the leaks surrounding Prime Minister Netanyahu have sparked quite a conversation. You mentioned that these moves “rob the authority of investigation.” Can you elaborate on why you believe this is a targeted attack on Netanyahu?
**Yaakov Bardugo:** Absolutely. What we’re witnessing is a systematic undermining of legitimate authority in order to reach a pre-determined outcome—targeting Netanyahu. The manipulation of investigative powers, shifting them to entities like the Shin Bet and the army, raises red flags about the motivations behind these actions. It suggests an orchestrated effort to alter the balance of power after Netanyahu has demonstrated political strength.
**Interviewer:** Many might argue that investigative integrity is crucial for a democracy. How do you reconcile that with your view that there’s a “selective implementation” at play?
**Yaakov Bardugo:** It’s a delicate balance. While I acknowledge the importance of accountability, the selective nature of these investigations can lead to a skewed narrative. Instead of focusing on systemic issues, there appears to be an agenda targeting specific figures. It’s essential for us to question whether this is about justice or a politically driven coup de grâce.
**Interviewer:** Considering the involvement of the military and security forces, do you think this sets a troubling precedent for civilian governance in Israel?
**Yaakov Bardugo:** Absolutely, it does. The intertwining of military influence into civilian matters can be dangerous. It risks creating an environment where force dictates political outcomes rather than democratic processes. We’re seeing a force that might be attempting to create a new reality, which is particularly concerning for the future of our democracy.
**Interviewer:** Lastly, with the revelations about Eli Feldstein’s past connections, do you think this scandal exposes deeper issues within the political establishment in Israel?
**Yaakov Bardugo:** Yes, it raises critical questions about loyalty, integrity, and the intertwining of security and politics in Israel. The fact that Feldstein was previously connected to Minister Itamar Ben Gvir adds layers to the narrative that we must dissect. Are these coincidences, or do they reflect larger systemic issues that could undermine public trust?
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Yaakov, for sharing your insights. As our readers digest this information, what do you think should be their foremost concern regarding the state of Israeli democracy in light of these events?
**Yaakov Bardugo:** I think it’s crucial for readers to ask themselves: Are we comfortable with the erosion of democratic norms for political gain? As citizens, we need to demand transparency and integrity from our institutions, lest we allow our political system to risk becoming something far less democratic.
**Interviewer:** An intriguing point that could spark a great debate among our readers. Thank you for your time, Yaakov.
