Fenton Lum, et al,
Maybe, but more than likely, it is about the annual archiving process they go through.
(COMmENT)Challenger, et al,
Nearly every Country has a Classified Archive. In the US, such archives are under the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
(COMMENT)"Israel is locking away millions of official documents to prevent the darkest episodes in its history from coming to light, civil rights activists and academics have warned as the country's state archives move online.
They claim government officials are concealing vital records needed for historical research, often in violation of Israeli law, in an effort to avoid damaging Israel's image.
The Israeli army has long claimed to be the "most moral" in the world.
Accusations of increased secrecy come as Israel marks this week the 49th anniversary of the 1967 war, when it seized and occupied Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, West Bank, and Golan Heights.
Many of the records to which access is being denied refer to that war and the first years of Israel's military rule over Palestinians in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza." Why Israel is blocking access to its archives
They allowed access to the 1948 archives in the 1980's and when that blew away the Zionist myth-history they were peddling since 1948, it's no surprise to discover they've got things to hide, new atrocities hidden under the fig leaf of "security".
There is nothing sinister about transferring records to the records holding area. It is an inherent governmental function.

Israel is concealing vital records to prevent darkest periods in its history from coming to light, academics say.
Seems that's more the question.
But there will always be those that will think the worst. We just have to deal with that.

The Israeli govt has had more to do with that possibility than anyone else. There will also always be those who defend anything the Israeli govt ever does. We find the same here at home. It is always about balance. Any democratic govt should expect and be able to openly deal with scrutiny and suspicions.
