In the wake of Israel’s State Prosecutor’s decision not to appeal a court ruling easing his house arrest conditions, Eli Feldstein, the former military spokesperson for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, paid a visit this morning to Rav Dovid Abuchatzeira in Nahariya for a bracha and personal guidance.
The visit came shortly after the Tel Aviv District Court ruled to relax Feldstein’s house arrest terms, allowing him to leave his home during the day and remain under restriction only at night.
Sources informed Matzav.com that Feldstein and his family have maintained close contact with Rav Abuchatzeira throughout this difficult period, often seeking his advice and support. During today’s meeting, the Rav told him warmly, “I daven for you all the time.”
Feldstein is the key defendant in the classified documents leak case connected to Germany’s Bild newspaper during Israel’s Iron Swords War. He is also a suspect in the unfolding “Qatargate” affair. Until now, he had been under full house arrest for an extended period.
On Sunday, the prosecution announced it would not petition the Supreme Court to overturn the District Court’s ruling, effectively allowing Feldstein significantly more daytime freedom while his legal proceedings continue.
