Netanyahu Aide Faces Indictment Over Hostage Document Leak Scandal

An aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Eliezer Feldstein, has been accused of leaking classified information to foreign media to influence public opinion on hostage negotiations, according to a court release. The leak involved a sensitive document from the Israel Defense Forces, which Feldstein allegedly distributed to bypass Israeli media censorship. The incident has sparked criticism from opposition leaders, who blame Netanyahu's office for the leak, while the Prime Minister's Office denies any involvement or impact on negotiations with Hamas.
