Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded this evening (Wednesday) to the criticism by IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari regarding the "Feldstein Law," which caused widespread uproar and led to a reprimand he received from the Chief of Staff.

"It is good that the IDF spokesperson was put in his place to ensure that such a statement will not be made again," said Netanyahu. "In a democratic country, the army should not interfere in political matters and certainly should not criticize legislation."

As mentioned, during his statement to the media this evening, the Chief of Staff was asked about the "Feldstein Law" that passed earlier today in a preliminary reading in the Knesset. "The IDF does not hide information from the political echelon, but operates under the political echelon for the security of the State of Israel," said the IDF spokesperson. "The document in question was accessible to the authorized parties in the Prime Minister's Office."

"The document was stolen from the IDF and transferred to a newspaper in Germany through a route that bypassed censorship, it was exposed to the enemy and harmed the security of the State of Israel," he added and attacked. "Regarding the law, it is dangerous for the IDF because it will create a situation where any junior officer in the IDF can, at their discretion, release documents from the IDF or intelligence information." It is a simple matter that will bring danger to human lives and the lives of fighters, and therefore it is dangerous to the IDF and the security of the state.
