Probe Demanded Into Alleged Protocol Forgery in Netanyahu's Office

The Movement for Quality of Government has called for an immediate investigation into allegations of protocol manipulation within the Prime Minister's Office, citing testimony from former Military Secretary to the Prime Minister, retired Major General Avi Gil. The organization has urged the Attorney General, State Prosecutor, Police Commissioner, and head of the Investigations and Intelligence Division to secure original recordings and investigate claims that a conversation on October 7th was deliberately altered.

According to Gil's account, a stenographer informed him that Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman requested she change the recorded time of a conversation with the Prime Minister from 6:40 AM to 6:29 AM on October 7th. The stenographer reportedly questioned the change, stating the actual time was 6:40 AM, but Braverman insisted the correct time was 6:29 AM, claiming he was present during the call.

Gil stated he informed the Attorney General of this incident in writing. The Movement for Quality of Government also referenced a Ynet report indicating Braverman was questioned under caution in November 2024, with the case pending a decision from the State Prosecutor's Office for over a year. Braverman's defense maintains the alteration was a correction of a clerical error made within his authority.

The movement is demanding a thorough examination of all evidence and documentation, urging a swift decision on the case. They argue that the alleged actions could constitute offenses of forgery by a public servant, obstruction of justice, and evidence tampering. The group seeks to question Gil and the stenographer further, compare protocol versions with original recordings, and determine who initiated the changes, their extent, and their purpose.

Furthermore, the movement insists on the immediate preservation of all original protocols, stenograms, recordings, copies, and backups, including change histories and access logs, to prevent any further alteration, deletion, or destruction. They also highlighted the seriousness of the allegations in light of the Prime Minister's efforts to prevent the establishment of a state inquiry commission.
