Commentator Erez Tadmor sharply criticized Avi Gil, the former Military Secretary to the Prime Minister, on the program "Patriots." Tadmor addressed claims that the Prime Minister was not updated with dramatic intelligence information on the night of October 7th, asserting that Gil failed to fulfill his duties.
Tadmor argued that the intelligence, which led to the mobilization of the heads of the Shin Bet and the IDF General Staff, must have reached the Prime Minister. He questioned Gil's understanding of his responsibilities and his duty of trust within the democratic system, emphasizing that the Military Secretary's role is to ensure the Prime Minister is informed of all relevant information.
Citing a past interview where Gil stated he was the conduit for updates from the Shin Bet chief and the IDF chief of staff to the Prime Minister, Tadmor noted Gil's apparent lack of concern that the Prime Minister was not updated. Tadmor added that this occurred even after the events of October 7th resulted in 1,200 deaths and 250 hostages.
Tadmor concluded by stating that Gil is "unfathomably irresponsible" and that it has now emerged that Gil himself was privy to some of the information. He questioned Gil's understanding of his subordinate position and his accountability.
