Netanyahu's Chief of Staff Investigated for Alleged Tampering with October 7 Records
Israeli authorities probe claims that Tzachi Braverman altered communication logs during a critical moment of the Hamas attack.
- Israeli police are investigating Tzachi Braverman, Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for allegedly altering the timestamps of crucial phone calls made during the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
- Braverman is accused of changing the timestamp of a second call between Netanyahu and his military secretary to make it appear as though it occurred earlier, potentially to benefit Netanyahu's image.
- Reports indicate that Netanyahu was first informed of the attack at 6:29 AM and had a follow-up conversation on a secure line at 6:40 AM, which Braverman allegedly altered.
- The investigation follows accusations against another Netanyahu advisor, Eli Feldstein, for allegedly leaking secret documents to foreign media.
- Netanyahu's office has dismissed the allegations as fabrications and labeled the investigation a 'witch hunt' against the Prime Minister's administration.
