Netanyahu's circle admitted to tampering - what happened on October 7

Former head of the Prime Minister's Office Tzachi Braverman admitted during an interrogation that he changed the time of Benjamin Netanyahu's phone call with military secretary Avi Gil on the morning of October 7, 2023.

Former head of the Israeli Prime Minister's Office Tzachi Braverman admitted during a police interrogation that he changed the time of Benjamin Netanyahu's phone call with his military secretary Avi Gil, which took place on the morning of October 7, 2023. According to investigation materials, Braverman changed the time recorded in the protocol from 06:40 to 06:29, effectively merging two different conversations into one. The difference between the calls was 11 minutes. During this interval, the military secretary received additional intelligence information. Avi Gil suggested that the time change could have been related to an attempt to shape a certain version of the events of October 7, including to support accusations against security forces. The very act of altering an official protocol could have serious legal consequences — up to ten years in prison. The investigative actions have been completed, and the case materials have been with the prosecutor's office for over a year, but a decision on filing charges has not yet been made.
