Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has urged the Attorney General to expedite a decision in the case of Tzachi Braverman, former chief of staff in the Prime Minister's Office. The request follows reports that Braverman altered the time of a recorded conversation from October 7th. Braverman's associates maintain that the change was not a forgery but an honest mistake made with the information available at the time, criticizing the timing of the allegations as election propaganda. They noted the case has been with the Attorney General for 18 months.
According to Braverman's associates, he explained during questioning that he handwrote the corrected time after speaking with former Military Secretary Avi Gill at 6:33 AM on October 7th. They claim Gill told Braverman he had just finished a call with the Prime Minister, leading Braverman to believe it was the conversation referenced in the protocol. Braverman's side asserts he was unaware of a subsequent 6:40 AM call between Gill and Netanyahu, stating it would be illogical to manually record an earlier time.
The police investigated Braverman on suspicion of changing the protocol time from 6:40 AM to 6:29 AM. The investigation concluded in July 2025, with the case forwarded to the State Prosecutor's Office and the Attorney General. Braverman has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Avi Gill, in a recent interview, stated he reported the protocol alteration himself, explaining an 11-minute gap between his two calls with Netanyahu during which he received and relayed additional information. Eisenkot, in his letter to the Attorney General, argued that this incident, along with previous reports, suggests a pattern of systematic forgery and distortion of official protocols, allegedly with the knowledge and direction of the Prime Minister and his senior advisors. He emphasized the public interest in resolving the matter before the elections, especially if the Prime Minister was involved or aware of Braverman's actions.
Eisenkot requested a response from the Attorney General by October 16th.
