🇮🇱 In Israel, a record of an attempt to alter documents concerning the events of October 7 has been released

Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 published a transcript of a conversation between the prime minister’s chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, and a stenographer. It documents an attempt to change the official chronology of Benjamin Netanyahu’s actions on the morning of October 7, 2023. According to the prime minister’s former military secretary, Avi Gil, he woke Netanyahu at 06:29 via a WhatsApp call and warned him about the Hamas attack. At 06:40, a second conversation took place over a secure line, during which the prime minister received more detailed operational information and learned that Israel was at war.

In January 2024, Braverman demanded that the time of the second conversation be changed from 06:40 to 06:29, thereby shifting the receipt of the detailed information back by eleven minutes. The stenographer refused twice to correct the record, explaining that this would be illegal. Braverman then changed the time himself in the paper document. According to Israeli media, the police have gathered enough evidence to bring charges; however, the final decision lies with the prosecution. Braverman himself says that he corrected a mistake.

However, this is about more than just 11 minutes. The changed time made it possible to portray Netanyahu as a leader who had received detailed information about the attack practically within the first seconds. This immediately raises the question of the prime minister’s actions and responsibility during the greatest failure of Israel’s security system.
