- Former Military Secretary Avi Gil confirmed the Prime Minister's office falsified a call time on October 7.
- Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman allegedly changed the call time from 6:40 AM to 6:29 AM.

- Prime Minister Netanyahu accused Gil of knowing about the attack and failing to act.
Avi Gil, the former Military Secretary to Prime Minister Netanyahu on October 7, confirmed in an interview with Channel 12 News that Tzachi Braverman, the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff, falsified the recorded time of a call between them on the morning of the Hamas attack. Gil stated that Braverman changed the call's time to 6:29 AM, although it actually occurred at 6:40 AM. In recent weeks, the Prime Minister's office had been presenting a different time, 6:44 AM. Gil explained that calls between the Military Secretary and the Prime Minister are made on a secure red cellphone and are therefore transcribed and documented. "Factually, they instructed to change the time of the call. Are there other changes? I don't know," Gil said. Following Gil's complaint, the police have opened an investigation into Braverman.
Netanyahu responded to the interview by accusing Gil of knowing about the impending attack and choosing not to wake the Prime Minister. This accusation contradicts a statement released by Netanyahu's office in March 2025, which expressed "full trust in the Military Secretariat in his office." Netanyahu's accusation against Gil aligns with similar remarks he made about the head of the Shin Bet and the Chief of Staff, and his references to a "betrayal conspiracy."
