Opposition calls on A-G to take legal action against PM, Likud attacks Gil over Oct 7 interview
In a public statement, Likud said that on the morning of the October 7 massacre, "Avi Gil knew about the approaching attack and chose not to wake the prime minister in time."
The opposition has called on Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara to take legal action against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party in light of the recent interview with Avi Gil, former military secretary. Likud claims that Gil knew about the approaching October 7 massacre and did not wake Prime Minister Netanyahu in time.
Gil told N12 News and Israel Hayom that Netanyahu's chief of staff allegedly attempted to alter the official record of the prime minister's schedule. The Likud party asserts that Gil had knowledge of several security warnings, including SIM cards being activated in central Gaza camps and Khan Yunis, Hamas activating emergency communications, and Mohammed Deif's unusual activity.
Gil only received information at 6:12 a.m. after being woken up by Ronen Bar, former Shin Bet Chief. He then attempted to inform Netanyahu of the information two times but was unsuccessful. The interview has sparked outrage, with opposition leaders urging the attorney-general to investigate the claims of deception and conspiracy surrounding the massacre.
