The initial report on the negotiations was aired on Channel 2.
Kam Affair
Shmulik Grossman
Neighbors say parents not to blame for daughter's alleged espionage. 'This is an attempt to reignite the affair after media forgot about it,' one of them says
About six months ago Kam was accused of stealing over 2,000 classified military documents while serving in the IDF's Central Command in 2007 and then passing them on to "Haaretz" newspaper reporter Uri Blau.
According to the proposed plea bargain, the amended indictment will still charge Kam with serious espionage, but without intent to harm state security.
She will be charged with gathering and possessing classified materials without intent to harm state security.
Kam said she was not aware of any plea bargain. Her attorney, Avigdor Feldman, refused to comment.
The indictment against Kam was filed in January. The prosecution claimed she had admitted to the allegations.
Kam has been under house arrest since the indictment against her was filed.
