Netanyahu's Ex-Aide Accused of Altering Oct. 7 Call Log

An investigation into the alteration of records from Benjamin Netanyahu's office on October 7, 2023, suggests Tzachi Braverman, Netanyahu's former chief of staff, changed the timestamp of a call to conceal Netanyahu's initial surprise. New evidence indicates Braverman manually altered a 6:40 AM call log to 6:29 AM, omitting an earlier, unrecorded call where Netanyahu expressed confusion. The case file has been sent to the Government's legal advisor, with a decision on potential charges pending. Braverman claims it was an unintentional error, while critics demand clarity before upcoming elections.

Israeli Food Prices Jumped 19% Over Four Years, University Study Finds

A Tel Aviv University study reveals that Israeli food prices have increased by nearly 20% over the last four years, a rate five times higher than the previous period. Specific products like chocolate and burekas saw dramatic price jumps. Researchers attribute the surge to a combination of rising operational costs, weak competition, and a lack of government intervention on the cost of living, disproportionately affecting low-income families.
