According to a report on Channel 2, among the 47,000 users whose details were leaked was one of the operators of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's popular page - his new media advisor, Yonatan Urich.
News 2 notes that it is unclear whether the information of those users who only liked the Prime Minister's page was also leaked.
This is one of the most popular Facebook pages in Israel, with more than two million followers.
