  • Attorney Kinneret Barashi accused ex-military secretary Avi Gil of lying about a meeting with the Egyptian intelligence chief.
  • Barashi stated that Gil's interview was political spin at the expense of bereaved families.

Attorney Kinneret Barashi, a prominent right-wing figure and social media commentator, has sharply criticized former Military Secretary to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Maj. Gen. (res.) Avi Gil. Barashi's attack, published on her X account, stems from a recent interview Gil gave to Channel 12.

Barashi accused Gil of spreading lies and engaging in political spin during the interview, specifically regarding a meeting with the Egyptian intelligence chief before the October 7th Hamas attack. "Avi Gil was caught lying in an interview he gave to Dani Kushmaro," Barashi stated. "It was proven - there was no visit and/or meeting of the Egyptian intelligence chief with Netanyahu on the eve of the massacre."

She further alleged that Gil's actions, with the assistance of Channel 12, constituted "engineering consciousness and political spin at the expense of the black hole of the bereaved families." Barashi condemned Gil's use of his public position as a "crime against citizens and, above all, against the bereaved families. Shame."

In the interview, Gil had raised doubts about the Egyptian intelligence chief's arrival in Israel before October 7th and did not rule out that Prime Minister Netanyahu was present at a meeting with the Egyptian official, a claim the Likud party has vehemently denied.

This is not the first time Barashi has been in the public eye recently. In August, the Central Elections Committee chairman rejected her petition against Yair Golan, chairman of the 'Democrats' party, and activist Yaya Fink, ordering her to pay 3,000 shekels in legal costs. Barashi had argued that Golan and Fink's use of their military ranks in their political campaign constituted improper propaganda.
