Smotrich Warns Supreme Court Ruling Endangers Israel's Security

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich warned that a Supreme Court order for the IDF to set a return timetable for residents evacuated from Jenin and Tulkarm could restore terrorist infrastructure. He criticized the justices, calling their decision "reckless" and a danger to national security. Smotrich urged the Prime Minister and Defense Minister to defy the ruling, asserting that security is not subject to judicial review. He also linked the decision to the events of October 7 and advocated for continued judicial reform.

Netanyahu's Chief of Staff Suspected of Taking Classified Records

Netanyahu's Chief of Staff Suspected of Taking Classified Records

Police reportedly suspect Tzachi Braverman, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's chief of staff, of improperly removing about 30 classified records related to pre-October 7 Gaza discussions. Braverman is also accused of attempting to falsify phone records from the day of the Hamas attack and altering the time Netanyahu received an invasion update. While Hebrew media suggest police have enough evidence to charge him with tampering, some reports indicate legal challenges may make prosecution difficult. Braverman faces separate charges in another classified document leak case, which has blocked his appointment as ambassador to the UK.
