Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that there was "no betrayal" on October 7, following an interview with his wife, Sara Netanyahu, on Channel 14. In that interview, Sara Netanyahu responded to questions about the "betrayal theory" by saying she did not wish to discuss it.

Responding to repeated questions on the matter, Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated his stance. "They already asked me, and I said it several times. 'Do you think there was betrayal?', I said, 'No, I do not think there was betrayal.' I think there was a failure, a big failure," he clarified.

The Prime Minister's remarks distinguish between a deliberate act of betrayal and a significant operational failure by security forces on the day of the Hamas attacks.
