Netanyahu Aide Claims Security Chiefs Were 'Shocked' on October 7
Top advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Topaz Luk, stated on Sunday that Netanyahu was the only one functioning and managing affairs at the Kirya military headquarters on October 7, while the heads of the security establishment were in a state of shock. Luk, who said he arrived at the Kirya early that day, described himself as one of the first to reach the site on the "cursed day of 7/10."
Luk asserted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the sole individual who "functioned and managed affairs" during the events of October 7. He sharply criticized the performance of senior security and military officials, claiming they were in "unprecedented shock" due to the unfolding events.
Luk specifically mentioned the Chief of Staff, the head of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), and "all the rest of the senior command of the security establishment" as being in this state of shock. He drew a stark contrast between Netanyahu's described actions and the alleged paralysis of the security leadership.
