Netanyahu's Aides 'Killed 6 Hostages' to 'Break Down Ceasefire' Secret Media CovertAction
It has been revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's closest aides 'smuggled' seized Hamas confidential documents with the media in an attempt to 'break down hostage negotiations'.
Israeli Magistrate Rishon Le-Zion stated in his ruling on the 2nd that "confidential and sensitive information was illegally taken from the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) system" and that "it may have caused serious damage to national security and endangered the source of information."
Reuter, which reported the ruling, reported on the 3rd that Judge Le-Zion's leak of confidential information related to 'the breakdown of hostage release talks' "The court said this leak could have damaged efforts to free the hostages."
The confidential documents provided to the media in question were reported by the German newspaper Bild on September 6th.
At that time, among the Israeli media outlets, ‘Haaretz’ filed a lawsuit with the court requesting ‘the lifting of the order to not disclose information.’
This article, classified as an exclusive article, summarized Israel’s fighting in the Gaza Strip for over a year and the negotiation strategy of the Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas, and among them, the ‘photos of the killing of 6 hostages’ were provided in secret, triggering ‘protests against the ceasefire’ in Israel and leading to the ‘breakup of the ceasefire negotiations.’
The leak of confidential documents by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s aides, who intentionally obstructed the hostage release negotiations, was a secret military authority that secretly provided the information and photos of the ‘killing of 6 hostages’ to the press, and based on this report, the Israeli government forced the US to ‘break down the ceasefire talks.’
The US, Qatar, and Egypt were mediating a ceasefire and hostage release talks between Israel and Hamas in September when a confidential document on the killing of six Hamas hostages was reported in the German press by Bild, and the ceasefire talks collapsed, leading to a lawsuit demanding disclosure of the information. The court ruled on the 3rd that information on the killing of Hamas hostages was secretly leaked by Prime Minister Netanyahu's associates and provided to the press.
Reuters reported on the 3rd that "the ceasefire talks collapsed as Israel and Hamas each took responsibility for the impasse, and the article in question was largely consistent with Prime Minister Netanyahu's criticism of Hamas for the impasse." "The report was released days after six Israeli hostages were found executed in a Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza, and their killings sparked massive protests in Israel, with the hostages' families angry, accusing Prime Minister Netanyahu of sabotaging the ceasefire talks for political reasons."
The Israeli families of the hostages held in the Gaza Strip received a court ruling today requesting information disclosure regarding the “nondisclosure of security documents.”
“These people have been living on a roller coaster of rumors and half-truths,” said Dana Pugaho, a lawyer for the hostages’ families, at a press conference. “For the past year, they have been waiting to hear information or intelligence about negotiations for the release of the hostages. If some of that information was stolen from military sources, we believe the families have a right to know the details.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu said in a statement on the 2nd about the ruling that he “only knew about the documents leaked by the media.”
Reuters reported on the same day that Netanyahu “denies any wrongdoing by his office staff.”
