The delegation dined at a restaurant prior to boarding the plane and theaide who had printed the papers reportedly left them there.
However, a waiter at the restaurant found the documents after thedelegation had left and contacted a friend whose mother works for theIsraeli Embassy in India.
The waiter’s friend flew to India and gave her mother the documents whichshe then passed on to the security officer of the embassy.
A probe carried out by the NSC found that the loss of documents had notinflicted damage on Israel’s security, the report said.Advertisement
NSC Chair, Yoav Horowitz, issued directives to launch a probe into theincident which drew conclusions that “no dangerous entities” were exposedto the contents of the documents.
