Opposition Leader Yair Lapid has called for an investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, prior to his appointment as Israel's ambassador to the United Kingdom. Lapid's demand follows allegations by former aide Eli Feldstein, who claimed that Netanyahu orchestrated a leak of classified intelligence to a German newspaper and that Braverman was aware of and attempted to suppress the subsequent investigation. Both Braverman and the Prime Minister's Office have denied these accusations, labeling Feldstein's claims as false. Feldstein himself faces charges related to the leak and is implicated in a separate case involving alleged work for Qatar by top aides to the premier.
