Recent revelations show that official Israeli government photos of Sara Netanyahu, wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have been heavily retouched before being distributed and archived. Critics argue that the manipulation of images in official releases distorts reality, undermines public trust, and threatens the integrity of state archives. In response, the government has begun crediting Sara Netanyahu in releases featuring edited photos and is reviewing policies on how such images are handled and identified. The controversy has sparked broader debate about the use of digital editing and artificial intelligence in official communications, with some media outlets refusing to publish manipulated state images. Experts warn that the issue raises fundamental questions about transparency, historical record-keeping, and the authenticity of government documentation in the digital age.
