Former Israeli officer alleges media smear campaign over 1995 Negev training accident before appointment as Interior Minister The passage provides a personal account of alleged defamation by a major Israeli newspaper, but offers no concrete evidence, new financial or legal details, or direct links to high‑level officials beyond the author's own prospective ministerial role. It is primarily a narrative of media pressure rather than a verifiable lead for further investigation. Key insights: Claims a July 1995 newspaper story falsely accused the author of abandoning wounded soldiers during a missile accident.; Mentions potential political motive to damage the author's upcoming appointment as Interior Minister in Yitzhak Rabin’s government.; Identifies Yediot Achronot as the media outlet publishing the alleged false story.
