United States Arrests Employee Linked to Netanyahu's Office Before Releasing Him

SadaNews Translation - The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported this evening, Wednesday, that an employee from the Cyber Security Division of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office was arrested in the United States.

According to the site, as translated by SadaNews, the employee was interrogated during a professional conference he attended in the United States on behalf of Israel.

It stated that after his interrogation, he returned to his hotel and then returned to Israel after two days.

Israel claims that the incident "does not have political implications" and was resolved relatively quickly.

The site pointed out that the circumstances of the interrogation are unclear and may be related to the employee's behavior.

Netanyahu's office responded by saying that the employee did not have any diplomatic passport, and that he was interrogated briefly before returning upon the completion of his mission.
