The Attorney-General’s Office declined to comment. The Jerusalem Post queried the Israel Police and has yet to receive any comments.
The case investigates an alleged meeting between the Prime Minister’s Office chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, and former prime ministerial spokesman Eli Feldstein at the Kirya military headquarters in October 2024.
According to the investigation, this meeting occurred after Braverman received information about a military inquiry into the leak of classified documents to the German newspaper Bild, for which Feldstein is under investigation.
According to the filing, investigators suspect that during the late-night meeting, Braverman informed Feldstein of the probe, presented him with a list of names, and suggested that he could “turn it off.”
On Wednesday, the Lod District Court Judge Michael Karshen and Braverman’s representatives agreed to temporarily extend the restrictions until Thursday, after police submitted a request to continue the conditions shortly before they were due to lapse, according to the court protocol.
The conditions include a 30-day travel ban, restrictions on contact with other individuals connected to the case, and an order barring him from entering the Prime Minister’s Office compound and the Kirya.
In the written decision issued later that day, the court approved the interim extension, noting that the move was made with the state’s consent and would preserve the existing limitations pending a fuller hearing on their necessity.
