Yoav Horwitz, a former chief of staff to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a founder of the Yashar! party, has strongly criticized alleged attempts to alter official records from the morning of October 7th. The controversy centers on Tzachi Braverman, described as Netanyahu's closest associate, who reportedly entered the Prime Minister's Office stenographer's room to review a transcript of a call between Gil and Netanyahu. Braverman allegedly requested that the timestamp of the call be changed from 6:40 AM to 6:29 AM, the time Gil initially contacted the Prime Minister via WhatsApp. The apparent aim was to create the impression that Netanyahu received a full operational report immediately upon the Hamas attack's commencement.
Speaking on 103fm radio, Horwitz called the situation a "disaster," stating that the conduct of the Prime Minister's Bureau and Netanyahu in recent years is leading to the "liquidation of the State of Israel." He emphasized that such actions within the most secret and crucial parts of the state pose an existential threat. Horwitz dismissed the possibility that Braverman acted alone, asserting that the likelihood of this being Braverman's "self-initiative" is near zero. He characterized the atmosphere as a "culture of survival at any cost" and likened it to an "organized crime" environment.
