- Gil alleges the recorded time of his first call with Netanyahu on Oct. 7 was altered.

Avi Gil, former military secretary to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stated in a recent interview that the public is not receiving complete information regarding the events leading up to the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Gil expressed suspicions that official protocols may have been altered after the war began. He recounted that approximately three months into the conflict, the prime minister's office stenographer informed him that Tsachi Braverman, Netanyahu's chief of staff, had instructed her to change the recorded time of Gil's first phone call with the prime minister on the morning of October 7.
According to Gil, this alleged alteration could impact the understanding of when Netanyahu was informed about the unfolding events and what directives he issued. He called for an examination of original recordings by a future state commission, as he is unsure which documents might have been modified. Gil also mentioned an Egyptian intelligence aircraft that visited Israel in late September 2023, but stated he does not know if it conveyed warnings about an impending attack.
"What is being told to the public does not correspond to reality," Gil declared. The Likud party has refuted these accusations, characterizing the interview as a politically motivated campaign against Netanyahu.
