Former military secretary alleges attempt to alter official records of Oct. 7 massacre timeline

Former military secretary Avi Gil accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of providing an inaccurate account of the timeline surrounding the October 7 massacre and alleged that his chief of staff attempted to alter official records of Netanyahu’s schedule. Gil claimed that the document detailing Netanyahu’s day did not accurately represent his personal observations and experiences from that day.

He expressed frustration that the public is being misled by what he sees as a combination of half-truths and lies. Gil had initially hoped that a state commission of inquiry would be established to investigate the massacre, but three years have passed with no such commission formed. In recent weeks, he felt compelled to speak out about his experience on October 7, as he believes the current narrative being presented does not reflect the truth of what happened.

Gil emphasized that Netanyahu was aware of multiple warnings about suspicious activity in Gaza leading up to the massacre, yet these warnings were dismissed and no targeted strikes were authorized.
