Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received explicit intelligence warnings days before the October 7th Hamas attacks but did not update the IDF or Shin Bet, according to a report by Israeli journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval. The report suggests that former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, and former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman were among those who received information after the massacre, with Eisenkot stating it took him a year and a half to confirm Netanyahu was warned before October 7th. The report also mentions Yaakov Bardugo and Itzik Bonzel as being within Netanyahu's "inner circle." The article touches on other news items, including France and Canada potentially banning imports from Israeli settlements, the High Court of Justice canceling the appointment of Yifat Ben-Haimovich as chairwoman of the Second Authority for Television and Radio, and IMDb changing Israel's name to "Occupied Palestinian Territories" on its website. It also includes commentary on the political climate and public perception of Israel.
