Israeli police have detained a senior aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, identified by local media as Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman, on suspicion of obstructing an investigation. The detention is reportedly linked to leaks of military information during the Gaza war.

• Braverman is designated to be Israel's next ambassador to the UK.
• Former Netanyahu aide Eli Feldstein alleged Braverman attempted to obstruct an investigation into a leak of sensitive military information to the foreign press during the war against Hamas in Gaza.
• Opposition leader Yair Lapid has called for the immediate suspension of Braverman's appointment as ambassador to the UK, citing the new developments.
