Israel scrutinizes its own leadership transparently as enemies exploit chaos and Arab regimes avoid accountability.
Tzachi Braverman, Chief of Staff at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Office, has been summoned to a disciplinary hearing by the Civil Service Commission, following a prosecution recommendation to suspend him over suspected obstruction of a sensitive security investigation.
The case centers on an alleged attempt by Braverman to interfere with a probe into leaked documents published by Bild, including claims that he warned former prime ministerial adviser Eli Feldstein during a late-night meeting that the investigation was underway. If suspended, Braverman would also be barred from assuming his already government-approved role as Israel’s ambassador to London.
Police believe the information Braverman received originated from his official role rather than a military leak, though a gag order remains in effect regarding the method of transfer. He is currently prohibited from contacting Netanyahu, Feldstein, and Yonatan Urich, barred from leaving Israel, and remains under active investigation.
Notably, law enforcement clarified that an officer previously questioned under caution, along with senior figures who testified—among them former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, Intelligence Division head Shlomi Binder, and the head of the Security Information Department—are no longer suspects. This development signals a substantial narrowing of the case.
While Israel’s adversaries suppress dissent and evade scrutiny, Israel continues to investigate itself openly—even during wartime—demonstrating institutional strength, legal integrity, and democratic resilience unmatched in the region.
