Between the lines: The scandal will likely deepen the mistrust and tension between Netanyahu and the IDF and intelligence services, which has been growing since the security failures around the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.

Good.

Maybe “He’s getting people on all sides killed because he is a depraved and criminal liar with no regard for human life, let’s bring him to justice” will be the single rallying cry that finally forms the nucleus of peace and understanding in the Mideast.

You're VERY optimistic.

Let me have my comically unrealistic scenario, please. The alternative is that he’ll keep killing with American weapons until hundreds of thousands more are dead, and all Palestine is a blasted wasteland, and no one will stop him.

The leaks in question were propaganda articles which painted Hamas in a bad light. They were "found on a computer" and corroborated everything Netanuahu had been saying for months. Extremely convenient.

The likelihood of these leaks being real was very low. This person being fired for leaking it even lower. Maybe Israel believes some theater will give it credence?
