Netanyahu Warned of October 7th Attack, Did Not Inform IDF, Shin Bet
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received explicit intelligence warnings days before the October 7th Hamas attack but did not update the IDF and Shin Bet, according to a report. The information suggests Netanyahu was aware of the impending threat prior to the massacre.
Former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, and others are mentioned in connection with the public's right to know what Netanyahu knew and when. Yaakov Bardugo and Itzik Bonzel are also named as being in Netanyahu's "inner circle."
This revelation comes amid broader political discourse, with Joshua Leifer suggesting that polls have injected hysteria and that the bloc must strengthen Eisenkot's leadership.
