Retired Major General Avi Gil, who served as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's military secretary on October 7, 2023, has accused the head of the prime minister's office, Tsachi Braverman, of altering official records. Gil stated in an interview with Channel 12 that Braverman changed the recorded time of a conversation between Gil and the prime minister on the morning of October 7 from 06:40 to 06:29. The latter time coincides with the start of Hamas's attacks on Israel. Gil asserts that the conversation actually took place at 06:40, and he was instructed to change the time. He added that he does not know if other changes were made. The Prime Minister's Office has recently cited yet another time, 06:44, for this conversation. Conversations between the military secretary and the prime minister are conducted via a secure red mobile phone, and their content is transcribed and documented. Following Gil's statement, the police intend to question Tsachi Braverman. Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to the interview by accusing Gil of knowing about the impending attack but failing to wake the prime minister in a timely manner.
