The suspicion that Tzachi Braverman, Chief of Staff of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Office, used materials that came to him in the course of fulfilling his duties was examined.
The court issued a gag order on most of the details in the "night meeting" affair in the Kirya parking lot in Tel Aviv between Braverman and Eli Feldstein, the former military affairs spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office.
The President of the Magistrate's Court, Judge Menachem Mizrahi, today permitted publication that the suspicion being investigated is that Braverman received news of the investigation into the leak to the German newspaper Bild in October 2024, as part of the performance of his duties.
The 'Night Meeting' affair was revealed in an interview with Feldstein, the suspect in the 'Cattergate' and the classified documents cases, on the 'Yahia Tov' program on Kan 11.
Feldstein claimed that there was a nighttime meeting between him and Braverman in the parking lot at the Kirya base, in which the latter suggested to him that he thwart a security investigation - which would later become the classified documents affair.
According to Feldstein, Braverman suggested "turning off" the investigation.
