Netanyahu Ordered Defamation Lawsuit Over Claims of Prior 7/10 Warning
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday that he has instructed his office to file a defamation lawsuit over claims that he received advance warning of the October 7th Hamas attacks but did not update the IDF and Shin Bet. The report, which cites an investigative source involved in the "Cases of the Thousand" investigation, states that wiretapping of Natan Eshel, a former senior aide to Netanyahu, was halted because it lacked approval from the Attorney General.
Netanyahu vehemently denied the allegations, stating, "I instructed to sue for defamation over the publication. There is no documentation of a conversation with the President of the Emirates." He also addressed the situation in Gaza, remarking, "I understand that in Gaza, anyone can kill whoever they want, without being held accountable."
