Israeli police are investigating the leak of video materials from the investigations of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Social activist and lawyer Barak Cohen was summoned for questioning on Sunday regarding the matter. The investigation stems from a complaint filed a year ago by the Likud party, which alleged that Cohen had used segments from the film "The Bibi Files" in a video he posted last year. This film, though banned from publication in Israel, was screened at international festivals, and parts of it were circulated on social media. The Likud party claims that the State Prosecutor's Office leaked investigation materials to Cohen. For reasons not yet clear, the investigation has been assigned to the cyber unit of the Northern District of the police.
