Avi Gil, the former military secretary to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has leveled allegations regarding the handling of intelligence and documentation related to the October 7 attacks. Gil claims that Netanyahu withheld critical intelligence and that documents provided to the State Comptroller do not reflect the full reality of events. He specifically alleged that Tzachi Braverman, the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff, attempted to manipulate the timestamp of a telephone call occurring between 06:40 and 06:44 to 06:29 to better align with the start of the attacks. Gil reported these claims to the Attorney General, prompting an Israeli police investigation into the suspected tampering with cabinet meeting minutes and phone transcripts. Further allegations include claims that Netanyahu received a formal war warning from Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar in July 2023 but failed to convene an urgent meeting, and that the Prime Minister prioritized political survival over hostage rescue efforts. Gil also stated that security services had been warning of a weakening of Israel’s deterrence and increasing regional tensions for weeks prior to the Hamas attacks. Subsequent details indicate that a stenographer in the Prime Minister’s Office reportedly refused an instruction to alter the recorded time of a critical four-minute call, noting that the computer system accurately logged the call between 06:40 and 06:44. Gil claims he documented this refusal in a handwritten note and has urged investigative commissions to rely on original recordings rather than transcripts to prevent the manipulation of the timeline. The Prime Minister’s Office and political allies have denied the allegations, characterizing them as politically motivated.
