Israel's internal security agency, the Shin Bet, has filed a complaint with the chief military censor against Channel 12 for allegedly leaking sensitive details about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's flight to the United Arab Emirates. The complaint, issued by Netanyahu's office, concerns a report by Channel 12 that revealed specifics of the prime minister's travel.
According to the Shin Bet, the report was broadcast while the aircraft was far from Israeli airspace. The agency stated that such premature disclosure of information endangers the lives of the prime minister, his wife Sara, and other key officials on board, including the heads of the Mossad and the National Security Council, as well as military and security personnel. The Shin Bet emphasized that these leaks compromise state security by exposing operational methods and complicating future covert missions.
The official complaint alleges that Channel 12 violated established procedures, creating a vulnerability for the government delegation. The Shin Bet is demanding action be taken to address the information leak, which it claims jeopardizes the security of ongoing operations.
