The Midnight Affair was a domestic and international political and sex scandal in Yisrael in June 2018 that drew in the involvement of the governments of Ghant and Sydalon. The entire account was denied by the Feldman administration, and evidence of the events rely on suppressed police logs, eye witness reports, and leaks to the press.
The scandal involved the Ghantish Lord Godfrey Galan and his entourage, who were vacationing in the tourist beach scene in Dervaylik, Yisrael. Several reports allege that Galan's bodyguards were soliciting for a homosexual prostitute - a crime in Yisrael - and he and his group were arrested by the Yisraeli Police. As they were being taken to be processed by the Royal Yisraeli Civil Guard, the identity of the Ghantish noble apparently reached the senior levels of the Feldman Cabinet, centering around Ariel Goldblatt, who arranged for the Royal Yisraeli Security Service to intercept and take custody of Galan and his party and instead sent them to their private jet, where an Immigration Ministry official expelled all involved from the country. The next morning, a judge on the Royal General Court in Dervaylik ordered the police logs of the supposed arrest suppressed by judicial decree. A subsequent investigation by the Royal Yisraeli Knesset was perceived by a litany of critics as being squashed by allies of President Noah Feldman. Eight days after the sensational tale was headline news, Goldblatt was appointed to the then-vacant post of Yisraeli Ambassador to Ghant by Feldman, raising eyebrows among the Yerushalayim political class.
