Attorney Gali Baharav Meyara ordered a serious indictment to be filed against Yonatan Urich in the Bild affair, for two acts of passing on confidential information with the intent to harm state security, as well as destroying evidence.
The prime minister's advisor will be added as a defendant alongside Eli Feldstein and Ari Rosenfeld.
A decision in principle was also made to prosecute Israel Einhorn, who is residing abroad.
Urich responded in a tweet on his X account: "A piece about the outgoing attorney general giving up on my execution.".
Attorneys Amit Hadad and Noa Milstein, representing Yonatan Urich, responded: "The decision of the prosecution to file an indictment against Yonatan Urich in the 'Bild' case is a wrong decision and is disconnected from the evidence that negates the prosecution's thesis and shatters the claims against Urich from the ground up.
""The Honorable President Judge Menachem Mizrahi, who is familiar with all the investigative materials in the case, determined that there is not a shred of evidence that Urich was involved in the leak.
""Instead of closing a case that has no basis, as it should have, the prosecution is holding on to a flawed and unnecessary case. Like the 'witness harassment' case - in which it turned out that the witness was not harassed - this case will also be closed.".
""Yonatan Urich acted lawfully, and all his sin was his work for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.".
