Allegations of protocol distortion and appeal to Shin Bet chief: "Broverman went with piles of stenograms"
"October Council," an organization of hostage survivors and bereaved families, appealed to the Shin Bet chief, the Attorney General, and the State Archive, expressing concern about the concealment of information from October 7 by Netanyahu's associates. The letter includes allegations of threats against stenographers to alter protocols, relying on testimonies of former military secretary Avi Gil, who described a "criminal" pattern of behavior by former chief of staff Tzachi Broverman.
"October Council," an organization uniting hostage survivors, bereaved families, and survivors of the October 7 massacre, sent an official letter to Shin Bet chief David Zini, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, Government Secretary Yossi Fuchs, and State Archivist Ruthi Abramovich. The appeal raises concerns about the concealment of information related to the massacre by individuals close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The letter alleges that stenographers in the Prime Minister's Office faced threats and were required to alter protocols. The letter relies on testimonies of former military secretary, Maj. Gen. (res.) Avi Gil, who described in previous interviews that he noticed "disproportionate collection of materials" early in the war. Gil testified that a stenographer told him that former chief of staff Tzachi Broverman demanded she change the time of a conversation he held with Netanyahu on the morning of October 7 from 06:40 to 06:29. Gil described this as a "criminal pattern of behavior by people who think they can do anything." In the families' letter, it is alleged that Broverman told the stenographer: "Don't confuse me, change it to 06:29, and I was in that conversation." It was also written that another senior official held three hidden files with documents from October 7, which he keeps in scattered safes for fear they will fall into "the wrong hands."
