Suspect in Leaked Docs Case Asks to Lift Gag Order on His Identity
An Israeli military officer arrested on suspicion of leaking Hamas documents pleaded with judges at the Tel Aviv District Court on Sunday to lift a gag order on his identity so he can clear his name.
“Everything was released to the media and I cannot fight for my innocence when I am in the dark and in the dark. I cannot fight for my good name. The public needs to know who I am, what I did – and what my intentions were,” said A. “I was wrong in the way I acted, I will never repeat it.”
A. added said that he missed his family, “I have a small child and a wife at home that I take care of and they take care of me. I think about them all the time and I don’t understand how I am still in detention.”
