Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is now involved in the investigation into allegations of protocol forgery within the Prime Minister's Bureau concerning the events of October 7th. The investigation, which concluded over a year ago, has been transferred to the State Prosecutor's Office and is currently on Baharav-Miara's desk, with no final decision yet made.
Avi Gil, former head of the Prime Minister's Bureau, revealed in a recent interview that a stenographer informed him that Tzachi Braverman, then head of staff, instructed her to alter the time of a conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the morning of the Hamas attack. Gil described this act as "changing the truth" and "forgery."
According to Gil, efforts to alter and collect protocols in the Prime Minister's Bureau began as early as late October 2023, two to three weeks after the war started. He stated that he approached the Attorney General at the time to halt these actions and clarify procedures.
In January 2024, Gil recounted, a stenographer told him she had been instructed by Braverman to change the recorded time of her conversation with the Prime Minister on October 7th from 6:40 AM to 6:29 AM. The stenographer reportedly clarified that she was not authorized to make such a change, as the conversation was documented and recorded, which Gil affirmed as "facts."
The matter was reported to the Attorney General, leading to a criminal investigation by Lahav 433. This investigation concluded over a year ago and was passed to the prosecution for review. The case remains undecided on the Attorney General's desk.
