Israeli probe: Netanyahu modified documents before October 7
The Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" has revealed that there have been modifications and deletions in documents related to the security warnings preceding the October 7, 2023 attack in Israel, after comparing a 55-page version submitted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2026 with its original. Investigations indicate that the original documents contained repeated warnings about the erosion of deterrence and the potential deterioration of the security situation, whereas the narrative presented by Netanyahu focused on his efforts to launch operations against Hamas leaders, claimed that security agencies opposed this, and emphasized his preference for maintaining calm. Additionally, former Shin Bet (General Security Service) chief Ronen Bar had warned of a dangerous security situation prior to the attack, at a time when Netanyahu was emphasizing a period of peaceful holidays. Israel is now demanding the full release of the security and political deliberation transcripts that preceded the attack, amidst accusations that Netanyahu is attempting to absolve the political leadership of responsibility for the security failures.
