Jonatan Urich, a senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is facing possible indictment for allegedly leaking classified military information during Israel’s war in Gaza. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara announced on Sunday that Urich and another aide are accused of leaking sensitive material to the German outlet Bild to sway public opinion in Netanyahu’s favor.
The case stems from a Bild article published shortly after six Israeli hostages were found dead in a Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza in August 2024. The article, which aligned with Netanyahu’s claims that Hamas sabotaged ceasefire talks, outlined details of Hamas’ negotiation strategy. Four of the six slain hostages had reportedly been on a list to be released under a potential truce agreement.
The leak reportedly aimed to influence public discourse amid mass protests in Israel and growing anger from hostage families, who blamed Netanyahu for derailing ceasefire efforts. Netanyahu has rejected those accusations, insisting that Hamas caused the talks to collapse. Hamas, however, blames Israel for the impasse.
Urich denies any wrongdoing, and Netanyahu has dismissed the investigation as a political "witch-hunt." Legal authorities launched the probe in late 2024 amid rising tensions over the handling of hostage negotiations and the broader Gaza conflict.
Bild defended its reporting, stating that the article was based on authentic documents but declined to reveal its sources.
A temporary two-month ceasefire in January 2025 resulted in the release of 38 hostages before Israel resumed its military operations. As of now, indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas continue in Doha, with international mediators pushing for another truce deal to end the ongoing conflict.
The outcome of the hearing will determine whether Urich is formally charged.
