What to know

  • Avi Gil, Netanyahu's own former military secretary, alleges captives could have come home earlier but Netanyahu blocked a deal to protect his coalition.
  • Gil says Netanyahu's chief of staff Tzachi Braverman altered the recorded time of a key Oct 7 phone call, a detail central to disputes over when Netanyahu learned of the attack.
  • Braverman is under investigation for suspected forgery and fraud; Netanyahu and Likud call the allegations a politically motivated smear.
  • Opposition figures are demanding the original audio recordings, not just transcripts, be examined; Gil says he will testify before any future state commission of inquiry.

“part of the false and politically motivated propaganda campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu and Likud”
