Welcome to the PDB Afternoon Bulletin. I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage. Let's get briefed. First up, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is under fire for a recent intelligence leak that critics say thwarted a possible ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza.
While the investigation continues, a senior aide to the Prime Minister, an IDF officer, and several others have already been arrested. Then, with tensions rising on the North Korean peninsula, the U.S. flew a long-range bomber to North Korea's doorstep on Sunday as part of a joint exercise meant to send a clear warning to dictator Kim Jong-un to curb his belligerence.
Well, that certainly is going to happen. Don't hold your breath is what I'm saying. But first, our afternoon spotlight.
There's a scandal brewing inside the Israeli government as Israeli police arrest a senior aide to Prime Minister Netanyahu for allegedly illegally obtaining and leaking classified information, which critics of the prime minister say may have scuttled negotiations for a hostage deal.
The controversy stems from allegations that Netanyahu's office promoted false information to foreign media outlets in early September, claiming that now-deceased Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning on smuggling himself and the remaining hostages out of Gaza over the Egyptian border to Iran. Furthermore, the leaked intelligence suggested Hamas
was trying to create divisions within Israel, specifically by leveraging the pain of the hostage families to build opposition to Netanyahu's governing coalition.
The documents allegedly gave Netanyahu the public justification needed to add tougher conditions to ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, particularly a controversial demand that Israeli forces maintain full control of the corridor separating Egypt's border with Gaza that's referred to as the Philadelphia corridor.
Critics of the Prime Minister note that Netanyahu pushed this demand due to concerns related to the alleged plans of Hamas to escape Gaza with the hostages. The problem, however, is that the leaked information was based on either partial or false information, according to an Israeli court.
