The full storyGovernment Documents: everything we have, with news, official files and videosIn the context of UFOs, “government documents” is a broad term for government materials that may be preserved in an archive. In Israel, the Israel State Archives preserves official documents and publications from government ministries, the Knesset, and the President’s Residence, as well as maps, photographs, films, and recordings. Under the Archives Law, archival material may also include a diagram, drawing, photograph, film, or recording, provided it has value as an original source and is held by a government body.
Among other materials, the Israel State Archives preserves minutes of cabinet meetings dating back to 1948, minutes of Knesset committee meetings, legal documents, and foundational documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan. The archive’s catalog includes material from various government ministries and bodies, including the Israel Police, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Prime Minister’s Office.
