PM's chief of staff said facing suspension, imperiling appointment as envoy to UK

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, is facing possible suspension following allegations of attempting to obstruct a military investigation into a leak of classified documents. The Civil Service Commission has summoned Braverman to a hearing, and the State Prosecutor's Office is reportedly recommending a six-month suspension. This development could jeopardize Braverman's recent appointment as ambassador to the United Kingdom, which was approved by the cabinet in September. A court has imposed a gag order on the case, restricting the release of investigative materials, while Netanyahu has publicly defended Braverman, dismissing the allegations as unfounded.
