According to a report by Agence France-Presse on the 10th, an Israeli court said on the 10th that a former spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has been detained on suspicion of leaking confidential documents that could potentially undermine negotiations for a Gaza hostage agreement.

The court said that Eliezer Feldman and three others, including security officials, were detained. The news of the case has led the opposition to question whether Netanyahu is involved in the leak – his office denies the accusation.

Critics have long accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of delaying ceasefire negotiations and prolonging the war to appease his far-right coalition partners.

After articles based on these military secret files were published in the British weekly The Jewish Chronicle and the German tabloid Bild, Israel's internal security agency and the military launched an investigation into the leak.

One report claimed that a document showed that the then Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar (later killed by Israel) and hostages in the Gaza Strip would be smuggled from Gaza to Egypt through the Philadelphia Corridor on the Gaza-Egypt border. Another report was based on an alleged internal memo from the Hamas leadership about Sinwar's strategy to hinder hostage release negotiations.

Israeli media reported that the first leaked document was proven to be fake, and the internal memo was actually written by low-level Hamas militants.

The report also stated that the Israeli court said that the release of these documents could "seriously jeopardize national security." The court further noted, "Therefore, the ability of security agencies to achieve the goal of releasing hostages (one of the war objectives) may have been compromised."
