Former Military Secretary: PM's Office Attempted to Alter Oct. 7 Call Record

Benjamin Netanyahu's former military secretary claims staff tried to alter the official timestamp of a morning call on October 7.

Major General (res.) Avi Gil, who served as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's military secretary, claimed that Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman instructed a stenographer to change the time of a phone call on the morning of the October 7 attack from 06:40 to 06:29. This was reported by Arutz 7 and ynet, based on an interview Gil gave to Channel 12 News.

According to the reports, the stenographer refused to make the change, and Gil brought the matter to the Attorney General, describing the attempt as forgery. The Jerusalem Post also reported on Gil's assertions regarding efforts to alter official timelines, noting his recommendation that a future commission of inquiry demand audio recordings rather than relying solely on transcripts.

Responses from the Prime Minister's Office or Braverman to the allegations have not yet been released.
