Israel’s AG targets Netanyahu adviser for security document leak
On July 14, 2025, Israel’s Attorney General announced that a senior aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will face indictment for leaking classified military information related to the Gaza war . Jonatan Urich, a close adviser, denies wrongdoing; the AG asserts the leak was designed to influence public perception of Netanyahu’s role in the hostage crisis .
Netanyahu described the investigation as politically motivated, affirming the material posed no threat to national security. Urich’s legal team echoed this, promising to clear his name in court .
The case spotlights intensifying tension between Israel’s executive branch and its judiciary, especially after moves to dismiss the Attorney General in related probes . Analysts suggest the case could inflame public debate over loyalty, security, and governance accountability.
As proceedings unfold, all eyes are on whether this politicized legal battle will destabilize Netanyahu’s grip on power.
