Decision on Changes to Protocols by Tzachi Braverman Delayed

Nearly two years after the investigation ended, the Attorney General has yet to decide whether to indict Tzachi Braverman, former chief of staff to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The matter concerns a change to the record of the first call received by the Prime Minister on the morning of October 7.

Key facts

•Person concerned: Tzachi Braverman
•Status: No decision has been made on whether to file an indictment
•The materials were transferred from the police to the State Attorney’s Office
•Publication date: October 9, 2026
•The case number and applicable statute were not specified

What Was Investigated

The inquiry concerned changes to protocols of telephone calls that took place on the morning of October 7. Braverman does not deny that he changed the record of the first call received by the Prime Minister, but argues that it was an innocent mistake rather than a deliberate act.

Where the Materials Are

The police transferred all the investigation materials and the evidence collected to the State Attorney’s Office. The final decision on a possible indictment is still awaiting the Attorney General’s determination.

No Decision Has Yet Been Made

According to the newspaper’s sources, the likelihood of an indictment is low. However, this is only an assessment: the material provided did not report that the case had been closed, that an indictment had been filed, or that a judicial decision had been made.

The Legal Basis Was Not Specified

The source does not state the case number, a specific court, a presumed charge, or the name of the applicable statute. Therefore, based on the information published, it is not possible to determine precisely which legal norms are being examined by the State Attorney’s Office and the Attorney General.

What this means for you

The material shows that transferring a police investigation to the State Attorney’s Office does not in itself constitute the filing of an indictment. As long as the competent authority has not made a decision, the case should be regarded neither as having been transferred to court nor as having been finally closed.
