Israeli Politics Shaken by Gil's Claim
The confession by retired Brigadier General Avi Gil, former military secretary to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, regarding prior warnings about the threat of war before the October 7 attack has sparked widespread controversy in Israel. Gil stated that security agencies repeatedly warned of the growing power of Hamas and its rapprochement with Iran, and that Netanyahu received direct warnings from the head of the Shin Bet in July 2023. As a result, Israeli parties called for a judicial investigation into possible negligence or cover-up of intelligence information related to the attack, with accusations of falsifying facts and attempting to obstruct investigations. Gil's testimony has been described as a "shockwave," revealing direct responsibility of Netanyahu for the killing of 1,200 people during the attack. There are few calls for a comprehensive criminal investigation and official inquiry, alongside questions about document tampering and the suppression of sensitive information that may have harmed civilians and Israeli security.
