Netanyahu's Aide Accused of Trying to Alter Oct. 7 Records

Netanyahu's Aide Accused of Trying to Alter Oct. 7 Records

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, is accused of attempting to falsify October 7th phone records, according to a Channel 12 report. Braverman allegedly pressured a secretary to change a call timestamp from 6:40 a.m. to 6:29 a.m., which she refused, citing illegality. While police reportedly have evidence for tampering charges, prosecutors may close the case due to legal challenges. Braverman faces other unrelated charges that have impacted his UK ambassadorship.

Israel Considers Tax Break for Tech Founders to Curb Exodus

Israel's Ministry of Finance is exploring a tax exemption on capital gains of up to 45 million shekels for tech entrepreneurs and investors to prevent companies and founders from relocating abroad. The proposal, inspired by U.S. tax incentives, aims to retain the vital high-tech sector, which contributes significantly to Israel's economy. The government is concerned about a growing trend of Israeli tech companies expanding operations outside the country, impacting GDP and exports. Discussions are also underway regarding potential changes to stock option taxation for tech employees.
