Israel's Shin Bet security agency, in conjunction with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, has filed an official complaint against Channel 12 News. The complaint stems from a report broadcast by the Israeli television channel concerning Netanyahu's visit to the United Arab Emirates, which was allegedly published before the trip had concluded.

The complaint was submitted to the chief military censor, accusing Channel 12 of violating military censorship regulations. Authorities claim these violations endangered the prime minister's life.

Channel 12 correspondent Yaron Abraham had reported that Netanyahu traveled to Abu Dhabi on Sunday, September 27, for a meeting with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed. The report stated that Netanyahu departed for Abu Dhabi on a private jet that morning and spent the entire day in the UAE. The prime minister's trip was not publicly announced in advance.
