MK Saada revealed, in an interview he gave to Gali Israel radio, that the reason for the investigation and delay is leaks to the designated minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir. Saada said: "From my sources, this is again a political investigation on steroids. Arresting a very senior person while traveling - this is something that has never been done before. From what I know, this is another arrest for leaks, and only then will we understand what the leaks are, leaks to the designated minister. Arresting a senior person for something like this in a way that endangers life? The Feldstein arrest affair pales in comparison to this affair." The senior officer was arrested by investigators from the Police Investigations Department, who approached his car near his home - which caused the senior officer's security guards to draw their weapons, since they believed that these were hostile elements intending to harm the senior officer. Police officers with the rank of deputy superintendent and chief inspector were also detained for questioning on suspicion of bribery and breach of trust. Minister Ben Gvir spoke with the Attorney General and attacked: "This is a coup d'état. The Attorney General and the State Attorney are using the Police Investigations Department to deter a very senior officer in the IPS and officers in the police from implementing my policy and that of the right-wing government. A bright red line was crossed this morning.".
