The former military secretary to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the public's understanding of the October 7, 2023 events is not the full reality. According to Hebrew sources, Gile claimed that a document Netanyahu submitted to the State Comptroller "does not reflect what actually happened," adding that it was "part of the truth, but not the whole truth." He also asserted that "there are many lies circulating."
Gile raised concerns about the alteration of cabinet meeting minutes and recordings in the early days of the war. He noted "disproportionate collection of materials" by individuals close to Netanyahu, which prompted him to approach the government's legal advisor. Subsequently, police launched an investigation into suspicions of tampering with minutes and recordings, with Netanyahu's chief of staff among the suspects.
Regarding the period before October 7, Gile mentioned that an Egyptian intelligence aircraft landed in Israel and remained for over an hour, suggesting such a visit would not be without reason, though he did not confirm a specific Egyptian warning. Meanwhile, the Former Minister accused Netanyahu and his circle of attempting to construct a narrative to evade responsibility for the failures leading up to October 7.
The Likud party rejected Gile's statements, labeling them part of a "political campaign" against Netanyahu. The party maintained that the Prime Minister received no prior warning about October 7 and that other entities were aware of pre-attack indicators but failed to act in a timely manner.
