The Movement for Quality of Government has called for an immediate investigation into allegations of altered protocols within the Prime Minister's Office, based on statements by former Military Secretary to the Prime Minister, Maj. Gen. (res.) Avi Gil. The movement also demanded the preservation of original recordings.
Gil revealed in an interview that a stenographer told him the Chief of Staff requested she change the time of a conversation with the Prime Minister on October 7th from 6:40 AM to 6:29 AM. The stenographer reportedly insisted the call occurred at 6:40 AM, but the Chief of Staff claimed he was on the call and the correct time was 6:29 AM.
Gil stated he informed the Attorney General of this incident via a handwritten note. The Movement for Quality of Government highlighted that Braverman was questioned under caution in November 2024 regarding this matter, with the case pending a decision from the State Prosecutor's Office for over a year. Braverman's defense claims the alteration was a correction of a clerical error made within his authority.
The movement is urging authorities to examine all evidence, including supplementary testimony from Gil and the stenographer, compare protocol versions with original recordings, and determine who requested the changes, what alterations were made, who was involved, and their purpose. They are also demanding immediate preservation of all related documents and recordings to prevent their alteration, deletion, or destruction. The movement emphasized the seriousness of these allegations, especially in light of the Prime Minister's efforts to prevent the establishment of a state inquiry commission.
