- Report claims Netanyahu was warned before October 7th.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that he has instructed the filing of a defamation lawsuit over a statement suggesting that "in Gaza, anyone can kill whoever they want without being held accountable." Netanyahu also clarified that there is no official record of a conversation with the President of the United Arab Emirates. The controversy stems from testimonies by Likud lawmakers Shlomo Karai, Miki Zohar, and Yariv Levin, who reportedly made the statement regarding Gaza.
In separate news, it was reported that 57,000 Israelis have left the country since the last Rosh Hashanah. Additionally, a report claims Netanyahu received a warning days before the October 7th Hamas attack but did not update the IDF and Shin Bet. Journalist Shlomi Eldar stated he obtained information after the massacre and spent 18 months verifying that Netanyahu was indeed warned prior to October 7th.
