Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's former military secretary, Avi Gil, has alleged that Netanyahu attempted to alter records related to the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attack and the subsequent captive negotiations. Gil claims that Netanyahu prioritized his political survival over securing the captives' release, and that his chief of staff tampered with records on the morning of the attack.
Additionally, Gil alleges that Netanyahu reversed course on a proposed captive exchange deal after far-right coalition ministers opposed it, potentially leading to the deaths of some captives in captivity.
