Tzachi Braverman, the chief of staff to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is reportedly set to be questioned by police this week over allegations that he sought to blackmail an IDF official into changing official minutes of wartime discussions.
According to the Kan public broadcaster, Braverman is expected to be interrogated by police before the weekend, in a probe approved by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and State Attorney Amit Aisman. Police are reportedly planning to request that a gag order on the details of the case be lifted following the questioning.
Braverman has strongly denied the allegations, calling them “severe slander” and “wild incitement,” and threatened to sue Kan if it did not retract the allegations and issue a public apology after the network named him on Sunday in connection with the case. Kan has stood by its reporting.
Netanyahu’s chief of staff has been allegedly accused of gathering a sensitive video recording of an IDF official, obtained from security cameras in the Prime Minister’s Office, in order to coax him into changing protocols of government meetings related to the October 7 Hamas attack. A report earlier this week in Ynet claimed that the attempts to alter the meeting minutes centered on how much knowledge Netanyahu had of the potential for a Hamas attack immediately before October 7, 2023, in particular the activation by terror operatives of dozens of SIM cards.
