And then Netanyahu shouted: "Stop writing, everyone! No one is writing down what is being said here"

An investigation reveals that the Prime Minister's Office launched a secret campaign immediately after October 7 to control the war narrative. Among other things, the military recording of critical discussions was halted, documentation was transferred to the office's control, and there is suspicion of alterations to protocols. The PM's Office denies the claims.

An investigation by Ronen Bergman and Yuval Rubovitz in '7 Days' reveals a secret campaign waged by the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from the very beginning of the 'Swords of Iron' war, aimed at controlling the public narrative and distancing responsibility for the October 7 debacle. The article describes a series of steps: halting the military recording of war cabinet discussions in the main meeting room ('the pit'), moving discussions to the PM's Office where documentation was done by office stenographers, suspicion of alterations to protocols, and even an attempt to prevent participants from taking notes for themselves. The article quotes anonymous military sources and mentions the testimony of former military secretary, Maj. Gen. (res.) Avi Gil, who warned against relying on transcripts. The Prime Minister's Office denied the allegations.
