Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, will be allowed to return to the Prime Minister's Office after a court rejected most police requests for restrictions. The Rishon Lezion Magistrate's Court dismissed calls to bar Braverman, spokesman Omer Mansour, and former spokesman Jonatan Urich from the office, citing a lack of substantive justification. The case centers on allegations that Braverman tried to halt an investigation into a leak of classified documents to a German newspaper, with former aides accused of orchestrating the leak and receiving money from a foreign state. Judge Menachem Mizrahi criticized the police investigation, particularly the failure to question Netanyahu, and found key testimony unreliable.
