Ex-Netanyahu Aide Avi Gil's Oct. 7 Account Sparks Political Firestorm

Former military secretary Avi Gil's account of the October 7 Hamas attack has led to political turmoil, with Likud accusing Gil of negligence and opposition parties demanding a criminal investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Gil stated he was not fully briefed on early warnings and that a transcript of his call to Netanyahu was allegedly altered. Netanyahu dismissed the claims as a "campaign of lies," while opposition leaders cited Gil's testimony as proof of Netanyahu's culpability and called for a comprehensive inquiry.
