Ex-Netanyahu Military Secretary Claims PM's Office Falsified Protocols
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Former Military Secretary to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Major General (Res.) Avi Gil, has confirmed a July 2024 report alleging that the Prime Minister's office falsified official protocols and minutes. Gil also corroborated claims that Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar had warned Netanyahu in July 2023 about the possibility of war. However, Gil clarified the situation on the eve of the October 7th attack, stating definitively that there was no specific, direct warning regarding the Gaza Strip.

In response, the Likud party issued a statement asserting that Gil, like other officials, was aware of the impending attack but chose not to wake the Prime Minister "at the appropriate time." The party further claimed that when the attack began at 6:29 AM, Gil woke Netanyahu but did not relay intelligence information he had possessed since 3:55 AM.
