Netanyahu's Campaign Against Winter Fueled by Advice to Feldstein
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign against political rival Ofer Winter is reportedly driven by Winter's advice to former aide Eli Feldstein to avoid hiring Netanyahu's lawyer. Winter, Feldstein's ex-commander, recommended a different attorney, who has since aimed to implicate Netanyahu in Feldstein's leak case. Likud is pressuring Winter to withdraw from elections, fearing vote diversion, but he refuses. Feldstein is accused of leaking classified information to influence hostage negotiations, with Netanyahu's aide Jonatan Urich also indicted in the matter.
