The Movement for Quality of Government has called for an investigation into allegations made by former military secretary to the Prime Minister, Avi Gil. Gil claims that the Prime Minister's office falsified records and altered the time of a phone call he had with Prime Minister Netanyahu. According to an interview Gil gave to "A-Yom," a stenographer informed him that the head of the Prime Minister's office, Tsachi Braverman, requested the transcript of Gil's call with Netanyahu and asked for the time to be changed to 6:29 AM instead of 6:40 AM.
Braverman, through his lawyer, denies the claims, stating the alteration was a correction of an error made within his authority at the time. The Movement for Quality of Government has formally requested that the legal advisor to the government, the chief prosecutor, and the Inspector General of the Police launch an investigation.
The watchdog group is urging authorities to gather further testimony from Gil and the stenographer, compare different versions of the records with original audio recordings, and determine who ordered the changes, what specific alterations were made, who was involved, and the purpose behind these actions. Additionally, the organization demands that all records, transcripts, audio recordings, and their copies be secured and protected from alteration, deletion, concealment, or destruction.
