Netanyahu Embroiled in New Controversy Over Gaza Hostage Deal Amid Arrests for Security Leak

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under fresh scrutiny as arrests have been made in a case involving the alleged leak of classified information tied to a Gaza hostage deal. An Israeli court disclosed that the arrests, including a spokesperson from Netanyahu’s office, follow an investigation by Israeli security agencies into a “breach of national security” that may have undermined Israel’s war objectives.

The leaked documents allegedly altered Hamas strategies, suggesting plans to move Israeli hostages to Egypt and possibly Iran or Yemen. Netanyahu cited this information in September to support his demand for Israeli troops on the Gaza-Egypt border, an idea rejected by Hamas and seen as a stumbling block in ceasefire talks.

Critics suggest Netanyahu has delayed reaching a hostage deal to maintain political stability, with his coalition demanding total victory over Hamas. The controversy has spurred widespread protests, with opposition leader Yair Lapid warning that internal security breaches risk eroding public trust in Israel’s wartime decision-making.
