In an unusual appeal sent to the Chief of Staff's office, it was claimed that Netanyahu's office allegedly holds sensitive personal documentation related to an IDF officer - as first revealed this evening (Thursday) on Kan News.
The unusual referral was sent a few months ago to Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, in which a serious allegation was raised that the Prime Minister's office allegedly holds sensitive personal documentation related to the officer. This is about an officer who worked with Netanyahu's office, and there was a claim that there was allegedly problematic use in the handling of this documentation.
This is another story that reflects the tense relations between Netanyahu's office and the IDF and the defense establishment. A source who was privy to the details said that the conduct of Netanyahu's office is extremely serious and raises questions. As a reminder, these days Netanyahu's office is under two new investigations.
Last week, Kan News revealed the tension between Netanyahu's office and the security establishment against the backdrop of the scandal involving the theft of classified IDF documents. As part of this affair, a person who worked as a spokesperson in Netanyahu's office is currently under arrest by the Shin Bet and the police.
In response to the publication, Netanyahu's office stated: "The reports published this evening on Channels 11 and 12 regarding the Prime Minister's Office are fabrications with no basis other than an attempt to defame the office and its employees. This is another witch hunt against the Prime Minister's office during wartime, filled with baseless lies. The facts will speak for themselves in a clear and unequivocal manner."
