'The boss is pleased': Indictment suggests PM may have known of aide's leak of intel

[moniss]

This is the headline of an article from The Times of Israel dated 11/21/24. Apparently one of the close aides to Netanyahu leaked IDF intel about Hamas strategies during negotiations about the hostages. They seem to have the trail down pretty well from this fellow and through some others and then to a German news outlet. One of the people the Israeli prosecutors wish to question has "conveniently" been "out of the country" and is unavailable for questioning. Apparently the IDF is particularly upset because the dislcosure could compromise their intelligence efforts.

1. My Israeli friend told me about this guy.

Bibi wanted to give him a sensitive position. It probably doesn’t come as a surprise, but to get the position you have to pass a background check to get a security clearance. The background check is by the Shin Bet (The domestic security service) Which refused to grant him a security clearance. Bibi gave him the job anyway.
