Rejecting police request, court rules Netanyahu's chief of staff can return to PM's office

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.
