The Shin Bet security agency has filed a complaint with the Chief Military Censor against Channel 12, demanding legal action following the network's reporting on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the United Arab Emirates. The Shin Bet claims the timing of the leak put the prime minister, his entourage, and security forces at significant risk.
According to the Shin Bet, the publication of the visit, and the manner in which it was conducted, exposed operational methods of the agency. This exposure, the agency stated, places future operations and personnel at a higher risk.
The Prime Minister's Office confirmed the complaint, emphasizing that the leak endangered the lives of the prime minister, his wife, and the delegation. This delegation included high-ranking officials such as the head of the Mossad intelligence agency, the National Security Advisor, the Military Secretary, and senior security personnel from the Shin Bet.
The Mossad also provided an opinion on the matter, describing the leak as a severe security threat to the prime minister and the delegation. The intelligence agency requested that the incident be flagged as a serious event causing damage to Israel's national security.
