  "account": "The Israeli Security Agency, Shin Bet, has filed a complaint with the chief military censor over a Channel 12 report alleging to endanger the lives of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his delegation during a visit to the United Arab Emirates. The report, published at 9:38 PM, was deemed a serious censorship violation by the Shin Bet. They claimed the timing of the report endangered the security of the prime minister, his operation, and the forces on the ground, as the plane was still outside Israel's borders. The Shin Bet further stated that the leak revealed operational methods, significantly increasing the risk for future operations. The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) corroborated these claims, asserting that the leak endangered the lives of the prime minister, his wife, the delegation, including the National Security Council head, military secretary, the head of the Shin Bet security division, the aircrew, and the security team. Mossad concurred, asserting the leak as a serious security threat to the prime minister and the delegation, requesting the publication be marked as a serious incident, causing damage to Israel's security.",
  "summary": "The Shin Bet said that the timing of the report, which came out at 9:38 p.m. endangered the \"security of the prime minister, the operation, and the forces on the ground.\"",
