<p>Israel&#8217;s internal security  agency, Shin Bet, has announced that it has been investigating suspected  leaks of sensitive information from the Israeli Prime Minister&#8217;s  office. According to Radio Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  ordered Shin Bet to focus on several officials and senior staff in his  office to find the source of leaks to the media.</p>
<p>Officials,  including Netanyahu&#8217;s national security chief Uzi Arad, Cabinet  Secretary Zvi Hauser and former chief spokesman Nir Hefetz, had to  undergo a polygraph test during the process. Hefetz resigned earlier in  mysterious circumstances. Sources at Shin Bet said that the  investigation hasn&#8217;t found evidence of any leaks from within the Prime  Minister&#8217;s office.</p>
<p>Radio Israel claims that the investigation was prompted when information  about a secret visit made by Netanyahu to Moscow more than a year ago  was leaked to the Israeli media. Reports at that time said that he was  there to discuss &#8220;sensitive security issues&#8221; during the visit.</p>
