Maj. Gen. (res.) Avi Gil, who served as military secretary to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, confirmed the report by Nadav Eyal from July 2024 regarding the war warning given by former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar to Netanyahu in July 2023 and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forged protocols. Gil emphasized: "Was there a specific, focused warning from Gaza? Definitively not." The Likud responded: "Like others, Avi Gil knew about the approaching attack and chose not to wake the prime minister in time. When the attack began at 6:29 a.m., Gil woke Netanyahu but did not provide him with any intelligence information, despite having the information since 3:55 a.m."
