CNN —Israeli police have arrested a top aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over allegedly leaking classified information to foreign media.
Opposition leaders say the intelligence was “faked,” and part of a ruse to thwart a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza.
Protesters in Tel Aviv call on Netanyahu to strike a deal to release hostages held in Gaza, in late October.
The next day, Netanyahu held a news conference and presented an alleged Hamas document he said was found in a tunnel in Gaza.
“This affair came out of the Prime Minister’s own office, and the investigation must examine if it wasn’t at the Prime Minister’s orders.”Dana Karni and Mike Schwartz contributed to this report.
