Israel State Archives release stenograms of government and cabinet meetings and other materials on anniversary
The Israel State Archives on Wednesday announced the publication of special materials from the Yom Kippur War on the 48th anniversary of the outbreak of the armed conflict between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria.
The newly declassified documents include 14 stenograms from government meetings during the 1973 Arab–Israeli War that was fought from October 6 until October 25.
The conflict started with a surprise attack on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar when Egypt invaded the Sinai Peninsula and Syrian forces crossed into the Golan Heights.
Also made available to the public are 21 stenograms of sensitive political and security consultations and 26 stenograms collected at the Prime Minister's Office from the diary of Eli Mizrahi.
