Eli Feldstein, a spokesperson in the Prime Minister’s Office, suspected of leaking classified information that harms state security, was released to house arrest about two weeks ago. However, another suspect in the same case, whose name was not allowed to be published, remained in custody per the Supreme Court’s decision. The court now permitted the publication of the name of the accused – Aharon Rosenfeld.

“I Was Wrong in the Way I Acted”
It was also reported that during today’s court hearing, Rosenfeld admitted his mistake and stated: “I was wrong in the way I acted. I will never repeat anything, I never thought of repeating it, especially not after this ordeal.” He added, “I wanted to say that at the end of the day, I have dedicated my entire life, my adult life, to the benefit of the state.” Rosenfeld continued, “I have always contributed during my military service, in the reserves, and as a worker in the defense industry. I miss my life; it’s very hard for me here, and I am constantly thinking about my family.” Unlike Feldstein, who is also accused of endangering state security, Rosenfeld will face charges of leaking classified information, obstructing justice, and theft by an authorized person.

Under Supervision
Last week, NCO A requested the court to allow the disclosure of his identity, citing the fact that an indictment had already been filed and that exposure is a basic right in his fight to clear his name. Additionally, in recent days, Rosenfeld’s mental health condition has deteriorated. He was transferred to a cell under 24-hour supervision with cameras and monitoring, alongside another inmate assigned to ensure he does not harm himself.
